You were born into a strange world.. Like a candle, you were meant to share the fire.. I don't know where we come from, and I don't know where we go..
I heard grandpa on my transistor radio,. Though he turned in his bones twenty years ago,. And he said, "Kid, there's something that I'd like to show you,.
There must be purpose here cause most of us keep waking up. (Don't you think it's pretty here). It's so unexpectedly predictable. So sloppily intentional.
We could just leave tomorrow, never ever see any sorrow. And we'll sleep in the ocean, far from all the commotion. . And we run and we hide from the slow assassination tide.
Blue Jean, where have you been? In this song I sing. I've been riding this train tryin' to see you again. Blue Jean, where have you been? In this song I sing.
His Sunday best includes the helmet of an astronaut. Tablecloth cape, embroidered number 8 sayin'. "I am a probe man, I am a probe man". Dancin' to the beat of a mother coming down, sing it.
Oh, don't you want to go. Oh, to the time when we were bored and happy. Oh, don't you want to go. To the time when all the plans we'd make. Were laws we had yet to break.
I got two hands on the sunshine. I got one foot in the grave. I got 25 cents in my wallet. And I'm feelin' mighty lucky today. Hey, hey. . My bones are made out of ivory.
Everything you thought you had.. It was only passing through.. Everything you thought you knew. Knew you... better than you do. We were made to watch and wonder..
You have eyes like mine. Are we strangers or am I you are I. . Put your face on mine. Put your face on mine. . What you feel makes part of what they'll feel.
How's your halo. Broken and fading. Selfish and hating. I see through you. You're good at lying. Running and hiding. Now you've been caught. I thank you.
Soaking in your own suspicion. You rattle off in all directions. I can tell the glow is wearing thin. I have made up my mind. You're way out of line. I feel the end.
So this is what it's all about. I just had to let you know. 'Cause you've always got me tripping out. And the down is way too low. Well you never really understood me.
I can't sit back and watch. You jump in the deep end. With him as your oxygen. 'Cause it's a long way to fall. When you sink to the bottom. Hoping he'll change again.
This body is riddled with ailments (this riddled with ailments). The devil's got me in his grip (got me in his grip). Genuflect and skin me of this payment (and skin me of this payment).
All my life I've denied ever knowing what it's like. You came around, you shook my ground. Now I'm searching for a drug to come down. You're where I thought I'd never go.
I came down from my mountain. I opened up my eyes. I saw everything that slipped away. And all I took for granted. And all I lost when I fell asleep alone along the way.
Can you even imagine. What I go through. Always stuck on the outside. Waiting for you. You always say we're just friends now. I need to feel closer. Over and over.
When I sit and stare through your empty eyes. I can see you cursing out the sky again. If you come apart I'll be standing strong. When you're falling off I'm hanging on the edge.
If it's gonna stay the same. I'd rather you walk away. 'Cause I don't wanna be the blame. It tends to shine more than it rains. So please don't let me down.
