I was paralyzed. As I opened up my bloodshot eyes. Do I really want to know. Where I've been. Or where I've put my nose. . I'm in a rut. Keep kicking myself in the nuts.
Your family's rich and you feelin' poor. Conscious like a nerve long gone sore. In a world of margueritas and computer games. Guess it's enough to put you in shame.
Staying straight, got me so strung out. Being sure just put me in doubt. Your teaching really made me dumb. Don't call me slacker 'cuz I am a bum. . Hang around the wrong kind of streets.
Hey girl. You'll land it. You've got supplies. If they demand it. You've got the looks. And the glamour. Cut by the chisel. And beat by the hammer. . They're naive.
Oh honey, goes to work and looks sedate. But honey, will help you out when late. . She offers. There's no way you'll decline. Now won't you please meet baby borderline.
You're a knife to his gun. When you're bored. He's out having fun. . You're always on the lookout. He's a star, you struggle with do's. And who you are.
Sweet little 16 is just getting sober. Trying to recover from a devil's hangover, yeah. Says, she's going straight but she's just up around the bend. That she'll go into rehab with the cash that mommy sent on, yeah.
You don't seem to love me anymore these days. Happiness is gone at least I see that in your face. when the storm is over and the sun is out there are rainbows in your eyes.
Lookin' up from a wayside ditch now. Lookin' up from your pitch black hole in the ground. There's only one place left for you to go. Uncharted territories will unfold.
Spare me, I don't need your yappin'. I got directions thrown at me. Like I was in need of clues. . All night long, all day, night. Noon, morning, same old song.
I'm mad, conveniently sad. By things I want and never had. And I'm pushin' but not too hard. This one-way ticket will get me quite far yeah. Further into chaos with a one-track mind.
Through denials and stupid trials. I can't hide but I can run for miles. I know it's vain straight up insane. To a different drum against the grain. .
Such a long while now. Since my highs dropped to lows. You know the sad part is. It's starting to show. That I ain't been quite myself now. For quite a long time.
Can you feel it. Pumpin' down like heavy love?. Can you feel it. Getting down to rise above?. . The rhythm gets you higher. Than the mountain tops. And everybody's ready.
In her voice I sensed reality. So I walked out through the door. My sneakers suckin' up rain from the street. And there was nowhere to score. . Spent that night in a park.
Gone down and out feels like it's sinkin'. With a sense of direction it comes tumblin' down. And the sky's gone dark, the streets are stinkin'. And the howlin' wind comes blowin' through the neon towns.
Out of key with my time. Banned from streets of gold 'cause of my rhyme. So tell me is there still a world to win. Or am I just a captive of the original sin.
There comes a time when a man's gotta choose. A time when you have to decide what to do. Watcha' gonna do? Well I got better things to do with my time.
My man was workin' at the seafood spot. Sellin' fish 'n chips and dealin' bags of pot. Dressed in a pirates uniform and all. Lookin' like a fool, headin' for a fall.
On a night with no lights, they found a young girl's body. Jigged and beaten and they made it a priority. But the boys in blue couldn't solve the case.
