When it bends you try to walk a straight line
Something more for less and in the meantime
It changes shape, it shifts, it takes you over
It's just a warning sign

'Cause the writing's on the wall
The writing's on the wall

You make a deal, you swear that it's the last time
No sudden moves or else your soul will be mine
And when you dance you're dancing with the devil
It's just a warning sign
You're running out of time

You can't relate, you still escape
Because you think you've seen it all
You're right on time, until you find
They've just been waiting for the fall

'Cause the writing's on the wall
The writing's on the wall

When it bends you try to walk a straight line
Something more for less and in the meantime
It changes shape, it shifts, it takes you over
It's just a warning sign

You can't relate, you still escape
Because you think you've seen it all
You're right on time, until you find
They've just been waiting for the fall

The writing's on the wall
The writing's on the wall
It's seven hundred stories tall
The writing's on the wall

Take your time
It's a state of mind
Take your time
Just until you find
Take your time
It's a state of mind

The writing's on the wall
The writing's on the wall
It's seven hundred stories tall
The writing's on the wall
