Can you feel life movin' through your mind? Ooh, looks like it came back for more -- Yeah Can you feel time slippin' down your spine? Ooh, you try and try to ignore -- Yeah
But you can hardly swallow Your fears and pain When you can't help but follow It puts you right back where you came
Live and learn Hanging on the edge of tomorrow Live and learn From the works of yesterday Live and learn If you beg or if you borrow Live and learn You may never find your way
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, yeah...
Can you feel life tangle you up inside? Yeah, now you're face-down on the floor -- Oh
But you can't save your sorrow You've paid in trade When you can't help but follow It puts you right back where you came
Whoa, whoa, whoa... Oh, yeah!
[guitar solo]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
There's a face searching far, so far and wide There's a place where you dreamed you'd never find Hold on to what if... Hold on to what if...
Live and learn... Live and learn...
Oh, yeah... All right...
Well, I don't show off, don't criticize I'm just livin' by my own feelings And I won't give in, won't compromise 'cause I only have a steadfast heart of gold
I don't know why, I can't leave, though, it might be tough But I ain't out of control, just livin' by my word Don't ask me why, I don't need a reason I've got my way, my own way
It doesn't matter now what happens I will never give up the fight Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right
Well, I don't look back, I don't need to Time won't wait and I've got so much to do
Where do I stop? Now it's all a blur and so unclear Well, I don't know, but I can't be wrong
It doesn't matter now what happens I will never give up the fight Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight Place all your bets on the one you think is right
Oh, it doesn't matter now what happens I will never give up the fight Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right
No, no, no, no... It doesn't matter!
When all alone in my chair, I just go about wishing Wanna be strong, really wanna be trusted, ah-ah... When all alone in my bed, I just go about yearning Wanna be cool, I also wanna be like him
But that's not something I can do so easily This is not simply my way, my own style Gotta get a hold of my life
I wanna fly high So I can reach the highest of all the heavens Somebody will be Waiting for me, so I've got to fly higher
When all alone in my sleep, I just go about dreaming I see myself there, having the same adventure
If I just follow you, I will never see the light Now's the time to find my way through this life Trying so hard to be strong
I've gotta keep goin' Everything is a brand new challenge for me And I will believe Believe in myself, this is the only way for me
Many friends help me out In return I help them Certain things I can do And there are things that only I can do No one's alone
I wanna fly high So I can reach the highest of all the heavens Somebody will be Waiting for me so I've got to fly higher
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Somethin' is callin' me, I don't know what Somethin' is talkin', but I don't know who Somethin' is callin' me, more an' more No one stops Knuckles' feet
K-N-U-C-K-L-E-S Was born for a lifetime on Angel Island His duty's to protect Master Emerald Diamond Hold the climate, he's searchin' for shinin' But everythime he look for the sun, can't find it Is this the way? The path I chose? Then why am I livin' with my heart so cold? All that I see is a storm of stones
Born on an island, in the heavens The blood of my ancestors flows inside me My duty is to save the flower From evil deterioration
I like to dig holes in seach of gold Large pots o' treasure make me feel much better If I fight Eggman, Rouge, whoever Clench my fists tight, become more ready I don't wanna hurt her, my passion observed Been lonely all my life, does it matter? Here for the mission, whoever want it, bring it Call me stubborn, but I'm still gon' live it Doin' anything to get the pieces of the Emerald Climb the mountain, see the valley around the hills Wild and hungry, ain't a damn thing funny My philosophy's my knuckles and feet
Streaking lights, loud sounds, and instinct Are the elements that keep me going I am fightin' my own mission Nothin's gonna stand in my way, no...
Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil Just believe in myself, won't rely on others I'll get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy This is my planet, gonna fight for my destiny
[sax solo]
I have no such things as weak spots Don't approve of him, but gotta trust him This alliance has a purpose This partnership is only temporary, oh-ho, oh...
Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil Just believe in myself, won't rely on others Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored This is my planet, I shall not surrender
I was born like this, to fear no one I'm straight thugged-out, only live to my ones Diamonds and gems, we can battle to the end You best to be aware of the knuckles that I send Once they penetrate, they put you to the death They hard as iron, and my feet is like fire You never see me run, and I won't surrender I just fly away, like it's no other contender, huh
Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil Just believe in myself, won't rely on others I'll get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy This is my planet, gonna fight... Oh-oh...
Now wake up... Now wake up... Now wake up... Now wake up...
Everybody tries to be straight But things are still unchanged It's useless to resist Their effort will be wasted Head straight for your goal by any means There is a door that you've never opened There is a window with a view you've never seen Get there no matter how long it takes
Oh, dark, the darkness that dozes in the dusk Throw it all away No one can break you, nobody can tear you You live an endless life forever
Oh, dark, the darkness that dozes in the dusk Throw it all away You see a light wherever you go You have to face it again and again
And again, and again, yeah...
Now wake up... Now wake up... Now wake up...
You live an endless life forever... Forever...
Now wake up...

[brass, sax fill w/ muted trumpet solo]
Stars don't twinkle The moon doesn't shine Stars don't twinkle The moon doesn't shine
Birds don't sing The wind doesn't blow To the pure body To the perfect existence
I'm shivering with cold I struggle against despair
I'm gonna be desperate
Never lose... Hurry... Never lose... Hurry...
I believe in my future Farewell to the shadow It was my place to live But now I need your hand Lead me out with your light I have breathed in The disgusting air of darkness But I never lose out to the pressure
Everything's just like an illusion I'll be losing you before long
I never lose my confidence
I know you're supporting me Supporting me... Supporting me... I'll be losing you before long
Whoo! Aw, yeah...

Must keep on movin' ahead No time for guessin', follow my plan instead Trustin' in what you can't see Take my lead, I'll set you free
Follow me, set me free, trust me And we will escape from the city I'll make it through Follow me...

I don't care what lies ahead No time for guessin', follow my plan instead Find that next stage no matter what that may be Take my lead, I'll set you free
Follow me, set me free, trust me And we will escape from the city I'll make it through, prove it to you Follow me... Follow me...

This is Knuckles, and I'm back I been away for a while But, I'm back to kick some butt at Wild Canyon I shall find all the lost pieces of the Master Emerald here I'm gonna get those fools They wanna play with my Emeralds? They playin' with the wrong guy
E-ki-do-na! That's what I'm representin' Never seen a mic-hog spit like a menace Wild Canyon, fun, I gotta chase a bat, huh? Yeah, Rouge, she's sexy and smooth A double-cross-spy-thief that's out for my jewels, uh I feelin' her in mysterious ways That's why I stay on point like every single day I gotta protect this place, I do it for my race, huh, huh
Yeah, you know all this
Yo, yo... Uh, uh...
Thow yo' hands up C'mon, c'mon
Ain't nobody gon' come here and eat my plate, no Yo, what happen? My Emerald's gone Somebody gon' get theirs quick, my word is born Who could'a did this? That snitch named Rouge When I catch her, I'm'a get her with these tools There you are, come here, little thief Think you can fly and get away quick? Uh-uh Give up the Emerald or die, I don't love you
You know me, the fightin' freak, Knuckles And we're at Pumpkin Hill You ready?
I ain't gon' let it get to me, I'm just gon' creep Down at Pumpkin Hill, I gots'ta find my lost piece I know that it's here, I can sense it in my feet The Great Emerald's power allows me to feel
I can't see a thing, but it's around somewhere I'm gonna hold my head, 'cause I have no fear This prob'ly seems crazy, crazy, a graveyard theory A ghost tried to approach me and got leery
Ask him a question, and he vanished in a second I'm walkin' through valleys, cryin' "pumpkin in the alley" Didn't seem happy, but they sure tryin' to get me Had to back 'em up with a fist, metal-cracker
I'm hearin' someone say, "You a chicken, don't be scared" It had to be the wind, 'cause nobody wasn't there I searched and I searched as I climbed up the wall And then I started to fly, I went in deeper
Let it get to me, I'm just gon' creep Down Pumpkin Hill, I gots'ta find my lost piece I know that it's here, I sense it in my feet The Great Emerald's power allows me to feel
I can't see a thing, but it's around somewhere I gotta hold my head, I have no fear It prob'ly seem crazy, crazy, a graveyard theory A ghost tried to approach me, he got leery
This is Knuckles I fears none
It's the real deal when it comes to my name, kid
Spooky up in here It's crazy in here We still gon' keep it goin' I'm Knuckles
Nobody scares me Whoever want it, bring it I don't care We can do this
Then come step up to the plate To meet your match It ain't no thang
Everybody, flow with me This is yo' boy, Knuckles And this is Aquatic Mine C'mon, y'all
Let's take a dive in Aquatic Mine Once was a coal pit, but now it's a water ride Makes you wanna sit back, enjoy the life And do the things you like doin', get to shine It sure beats fightin' with the foes all the time But I gotta do it, they always stay out o' line Sometimes I wanna just chill and lamp But I'm the protector of the Emeralds and Gems
I stay knuckled-up, I'm in a deep cut I'm seein' skulls that burn, they tryin' to cut me off Avoidin' my luck, I'm feelin' kind o' stuck I'm in narrow hallways, runnin' like it's a ball game Hand tracks be trackin' me to different doorways In a maze, and I don't know what to do Guaranteed, though, I'm'a find the Emeralds Don't call me Knuckles for nothin', I can't lose
Sure beats fightin' with the foes all the time But I gotta do it, they always stay out o' line Sometimes I wanna just chill and lamp But I'm the protector of the Emeralds and Gems Stay knuckled-up, in a deep cut I'm seein' skulls that burn, they tryin' to throw me off Avoidin' my luck, I'm feelin' kind o' stuck Don't call me Knuckles, give me the bucks
This is Knuckles And you've reached the Death Chamber
Death Chamber... Death Chamber... Death Chamber...
From front to back, all I see is thorns I'm glad that I don't call this home
A lot o' trick stuff That makes you fall into a trap
Eggman wants to steal us all Keep the Emeralds and build a throne
Not if I can help at all I will not let him take it over
Sonic, what are you doin' here? I heard you were on a quest for the Master Emerald You know you and me don't get along I don't think that's the point right now, Knuckles I know how much the Emerald means to you And I wanna help get it back Stop bein' stubborn and think Well, I guess you're right You're damn right, Knuckles I know Eggman's secret station's here somewhere All we have to do is find it I know we'll need a key to get inside That's our only way to find it, so let's go
It's your main man, Knuckles And we at Meteor Herd You ready to go in space? Help me get the Emeralds
Took a shuttle to space, and left from our homes At least we with friends, and I'm not all alone Bad thing was that the Emeralds spilled Gotta to search space, man, time to get ill
What's this? Can't fly or climb I just could float, hope I don't die Meteors comin' my way, weavin', gotta go straight Ain't a criminal, crime don't pay Seen a crazy look, Eggman's face
Don't let it hit'cha, move Don't let it hit'cha, move Don't let it hit'cha, move, move Don't let it hit'cha, move
Don't let it get'cha, groove Don't let it get'cha, groove Don't let it get'cha, groove, groove Don't let it get'cha, groove
