Getting Smaller [2005-04-28 San Francisco, California] Songtext
von Nine Inch Nails

Getting a little erratic here
And I don′t know who to trust
I guess they got a way of reading my mind
I guess I gotta adjust

I got my arms, they flip-flop, flip-flop-flip
I got my head on a spring
Well, I thought I got you on my side
I haven't got fucking anything

I′m just a face in the crowd
Nothing to worry about
Not even tryin' to stand out
I'm getting smaller and smaller and smaller

And I have nothing to say
It′s all been taken away
I just behave and obey
I′m afraid I am starting to fade away

A-ha


I cannot see through the cracks
When I'm pressed up on the wall
I′m not looking to stand up real high
I'd be happy to crawl

I think I′m losing my grip
But I can still make a fist
You know I still got my one good arm
That I can beat, mmm, I can beat myself up with

I'm just a face in the crowd
Nothing to worry about
Not even tryin′ to stand out
I'm getting smaller and smaller and smaller

And I have nothing to say
It's all been taken away
I just behave and obey
I′m afraid I am starting to fade away


And for what it is worth
I really used to believe
That maybe there′s some great thing
That we could achieve
And now I cant tell the difference
Don't know what to feel
Between what I′ve been trying so hard to see
And what appears to be real

Fading away
Fading away
Fading away
Fading away

My world is getting smaller everyday, and that's ok
My world is getting smaller everyday, and that′s ok
My world is getting smaller everyday, and that's ok
My world is getting smaller everyday
That′s ok
