It twists me up inside, so cruel and unkind
I mean, you must be joking, man, you're stealing my lines
But I better go
With my demons in tow
They won't come easy, but it's on with the show

No, you can't catch me
'Cause I've got the melody

I navigate the rush, and I split the heavens boom
My heart's in every single word, I scrawl in the gloom
I never shed a tear, I proceed in my prayers
Await the black dogs, leaving when the sunlight appears

No, you can't catch me
'Cause I got the melody

You can't catch me
No, no, you can't catch me
'Cause I got the melody

No angel up above
And no demon in the sea
Could ever separate me from the things that I need
And I'll never fall for these lies that you weave
Oh, I don't need your crumbs, man, I will never retreat

But you can't catch me
'Cause I've got the melody

No, you won't catch me
No, no, you won't catch me
'Cause I've got the melody

I've got the melody
