there's a thumbtack on the floor

there's a thumbtack on the floor
you'll get pricked and start to cry
watch your steps right out the door

nothing's easy, we want more
easiness, yet it's a lie
there's a thumbtack on the floor

this is life, it's what's in store
just in dreams your safety lies
watch your steps right out the door

avoid the thumbtack or you'll roar
ouch, it hurts, I think I'll die
there's a thumbtack on the floor

we would rather jump and soar
leave the ground and reach the sky
watch your steps right out the door

we're earthbound forever more
till the very day we die
there's a thumbtack on the floor
watch your steps right out the door
