Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh-oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm looking at the city down below me

Heaven knows, I made my own surroundings

I'm just getting started, yeah, I know

I'm on my way 'cause this is all about me, 'bout me

Cybernetic system, yeah, I felt like a machine

Doing this, doing that

Taking orders like I'm Winter Soldier (bah-bah!)

Cracked the shell then I fled

I'm running on the edge screaming

"Whoa-oh, oh-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh"

Deeper and deeper, I'm sinking, I'm drowning

One little trip, and I know that I'll fall in

Deeper and deeper, I'm thinking, I'm crying
