My stomach's in knots, my fingers bleed the day away. I might be sick here on this stage. Distance is relative but so is your empty name. I think I want out, it's all just the same.
Last night, we went to a party. There were a bunch of big names there. I've been conditioned to sell myself. Well, that's not what this is about. . So I've got one hand on my neck.
If you see me at midnight. Walking the streets. You'll know it was me. For I cannot sleep. . I've pushed away the dreams. And spoiled the quiet. I'm propelled by fear.
I've never seen her before. Never been here before. Yet she seemed strangely familiar. . Never set foot in this bar. Nor do I recognize that car. But you caught my eye.
You want me, you got me. I'm digging my heels in so far that I dug a grave. To the point where I wanted to lay in it. You made me lay down. . And your eyes can be revealing.
To set the scene we're lying here. The night sky is woken up by intruding lights. And the sound of cannons. We drove downtown for this. And we love our country just enough.
There's a stain on your shirt. From where you spilled the red wine. I almost remember it was over there by the piano. . Now you're forcing the liquor down your throat.
I don't know what I'm doing or where I'm going. When I get there and I sort things out. I hope, I hope that I do it well. . It's the excitement, the anxiety then the let down.
So often I'd stand. On my front porch. And I'd watch. The car wrecks all night long. . It's Christmas eve. And I've had too much to drink. The house is quiet and neat.
If I could I would. I'd pull your ribs apart. Like the bars on the jail cell. We'd make a clean break. . I'd touch your racing heart. To control those anxieties.
I don't have to look around I feel your eyes burning holes in my head.. One day I'll be out of here maybe then you'll listen to what I said.. . You know I don't do this for my ego..
Police harass you everywhere you go. You need a place you can call your own. Down in the city street police take you for a beat. They can't get you bust, they'll have you with SUS.
Soldiers of Islem are loading their guns. They're getting ready. but the Russian tanks are mowing them down. They're getting ready. There's children in Africa with tommy guns.
There they go.. (Corporate War). Off to fight.. (Corporate War). Not for King.. (Corporate War). Not for country.. (Corporate War). Of self preservation..
Violent revolution is here alright it's real. Sometimes I'm violent sometimes I loot and steal. You don't need excuses there's just one thing you know.
You're a victim of day. Well I'm a victim of night. You're a victim of the accident. And I'm a victim of the fight. Well I don't mind being down on the ground.
Well I got a little girl, she only lives down the street. And she's got a little something, it's gonna knock you off your feet.. Well I said I wanna buy some and she told me that I could,.
I took a trip down to Mexico.. I tried to find my hairless dog.. I was searching in every crevice, when something strange came out of the fog.. . I heard a scream - can this be..
I tried to get you on the telephone. But all day long got your number wrong. Then I remembered that I wrote it on the shirt. But I went and got it dirty when I fell in the dirt.
Baby won't you buy me a brand new suit. Like they wore in '62. I wanna be in the latest craze. I wanna be in the news. Wanna get my name on the front page.
