Chubby Checker
Muzz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hollow as these steel field
Frozen fast, can I meet you there?
I tune into news from the hole
I wake with the silent message
For you to be well

Back on your feet, how you planned it
Back on your feet, how you planned it
Back on your feet, how you planned it
Back on your feet, how you planned it

Common ancestors speak
Violence turns into Greek
There's so much I could say
But I'll let you finish
All that's at stake isn't free
We all learn to deeper degree
Someone had to pay for you to be well

Back on your feet, how you planned it
Back on your feet, how you planned it




Back on your feet, how you planned it
Back on your feet, how you planned it
