There's something special 'bout six o'clock. In the morning when it's still too early to knock. And the dusky light shines down on the block. And reflects up and down on the hands of the clock.

Forget all your worries. The bleeding and suffering. Let your mind rest and live a little more. . Forget all your worries. Those wounds and the stumbling.
Again I close my eyes. Cause it's hard to see that I'm. Losing my prime. My actions feed your lies. And the truth begins to fade. Become so vague. . Lift me up.
Shoes at just 4.95. I don't know why I call it 5. Tomorrow's always over there. Falling up and down the stairs. . Your car couldn't love you more. That's what real friends are for.

It's raining. In Saint Mary's gate. . Watch the dirt. From the dirty street. Pour down and make it clean. Dirty water. . Do like we all do. See what you want to.
Wake up demonstrations. Said silence is the wrong word. I'm gonna keep the names. That I use for myself to myself. . A summer sun is shining. What will it be tomorrow?.
Sweet lover of mine. Sweet lover of mine. You know a million tears are gonna fall. . Sister blue stay away from me. Tears so many now I can't see. Just waitin' for the jerk to phone.
I was rollin down the window of my car. And I was thinkin where the game had got me so far. . Doesn't matter where you're goin or where you're comin from.

You tell yourself you're not the one. You won't get hurt when the damage is done. You tell yourself it won't happen to you. It's the same old story, there's nothing new.
You've got to try a little harder. Shout a little louder. No one's gonna hear what you say. 'Cause it's dog eat dog, winner takes it all. So don't you stand in my way.
