Soma is what they would take when hard times opened their eyes
Saw pain in a new way
High stakes for a few names
Racing with the sunbeams
Loosing against their dreams
In our eyes

Repeat until verse ends:
When I saw her for the first time
Lips moved as her eyes closed
Heard something in his voice
"And I'll be there" he says
And he walks out
Somehow he was trying too hard
To be like them

I am
Stop
And go
In your eyes 
And I am
Stop
Oh darling let me go
Try it once and they liked it
(They) Try to hide it
Said I've been doing this twenty five years
Well I'm not listening no more
And his friends they keep asking for more
Oh yeah
