Story behind the song
When the chips are down, and your back is against the wall, sometimes the only person you can count on is YOU.
Lyrics
I'm like a cat with nine lives, baby...
'Cept I can't remember which one that I'm on.
I Missed another sunrise, maybe...
I'll get a clue before I'm too far gone.
Well, I'm looking around, and they're all looking at me.
I've got to save myself, save myself.
I know that life is what you want it to be,
I've got to save myself, save myself - again.
Just yesterday I felt like Ophelia...
It's so damn easy to just lie down and float away.
You got to play with the hand life deals ya...
Just suck it up and say what you want to say.
I've got to eat my Wheaties and feel my oats.
I've got to save myself, save myself.
Shake the dust from my shoes and get back on my horse.
I've got to save myself, save myself - again.
I'm goin' back to the blackboard, baby -
Got to work out just what my next move should be.
Sometimes this world it just drives me crazy...
But what the hell, I ain't got nothing to lose, but me.
I've got to reach down deep and then I'll hold on tight.
I've got to save myself, save myself.
I can't give this thing up without a fight.
I've got to save myself, save myself.
I've got to lick my wounds and then chart a new course.
I've got to save myself, save myself.
Shake the dust from my shoes and then get back on my horse.
I've got to save myself, save myself - again.
