At your lowest ebb
When the day is over
When you feel you're about
To reach rock bottom
And you just keep digging on
You've got to start using your brain and bidding your time
At your lowest ebb
When your feelings are
Numbed by loneliness
Waiting to swoop down
On you like easy prey
You've got to start using your brain and bidding your time
And it's such a shame
When you don't know how to tell someone about
Your uneasiness
Sometimes even words can't help
You've got to start using your brain and bidding your time
Once you were so strong you could have lifted the whole world
That time is gone now you must cope with your fears and doubts
And your lowest ebb
Has been inviting me to join again
It has nothing to offer
But tears and pain
I'm gonna start using your brain and bidding your time
