You were the one that was always just telling the truth. Playing your game that was so very easy to do. I was believing you, easy to play with the fool.
I crossed the tracks. I crossed the line. I doused my heart with turpentine. It stings a bit. I must admit. I wore too many coats but none that fit. .
Alright!. They say life is just a threat, they know what is good and bad. I know what I want, no one tells me what to do - alright!. They say life ain't just for fun, but my life has just begun.

I've been held back way too long, sung in the same old songs. This last speed's too low for me, I'm changing to a higher gear. Some guys like to live real quiet, rather get them tired.
You needed your freedom, I thought that I needed mine. We both were too young to know, we shouldn't let it go. We went our own ways, and time passed us by.
Oh, Josephine. When you were queen. Where did that leave you and me. Where you threw me to the hungry, hungry lions. Like Bonarparte. I was bonafide. I knew how to pick a fight.
Your song and dance routine. Bears all the markings of a machiavellian scheme. The shadows you cast. Over your shadowy past. Do the trick for now. But you know they won't last.
It took so long to find you, now you say that you need some more time. Somehow I'm getting used to, hangin' 'round 'til you've made up your mind. Everytime you need me, you just call knowing that I will be right there.
I wanna meet resurrection Mary. Stand before God, speak in tongues, hear her stories. Worries and Fears are locked behind your door. Mary on the contrary, I'll be on your side and more.
Well you know how it goes when you [help up your bitch while it's] hot. I was out on the beach, down in grease, I was in for some fun. And there she was.
I found that I find the things that you find. Important rather peculiar. The space in between between you and me. Has grown darker and deep and bigger.
During the week I'm only half alive, wasting my time all day from 9 to 5. They think I'm slow and I'm a lazy guy. They should see me now, I'm here in your town, I'm blowing the fuses right out.
Shutter your eyes. Calm the ringing in your ear. Steady your breath, honey. Let weight your spear. We've been over this before. We both know we on a war.
I don't agree with the way some people make all the rules, control society. No rules for me, I wanna live my life the way I want, no one's controlling me.
He may stretch but he won't tear. He may give but he'll never care. He's got sunken eyes and a head full of static fears. And when he dreams he is a dreadful smear.
Oh yeah, for me she's the one, when I see her walk, she sets my soul on fire. My self-control's gone, get a heart-attack the moment that she smiles. I know she knows I'm there, but she pretends she don't care.
Things weren't so natural in the beginning. We just let our hearts beat, this was love. We lived from one day to another, the difference didn't bother us at all.
the stench of sulfur. climbing up the drain. open up your chest. your heart would smell the same. you got a lot of nerve. defyn' your old man's word. blood on your boots.
