Believe In Me
When I was a young boy
Said some man parted some sea
They said believe in us
Why should they lie to me
Now I'm not a young boy
What I believe is what I believe
But I still get fooled sometimes
It's so goddamned easy
(Girl Part)
Now that I'm a grown man
Be the best that I can be
Been down every rocky road
And I'm bloodied at my knees
But I treat you like a princess
Never ask to be the king
Just believe in me
Believe in me
Believe in me
Yeah yeah
Where does it leave me
When you don't believe in me
Where does it leave me
When you don't believe in me
I'd climb any mountain
Yeah I'd cross any sea
I might break down and cry
But I'd drop down my bottle of rye
If you'd just believe in me
Believe in me
Believe in me
Where does it leave me
When you don't believe in me
Where does it leave me
When you don't believe in me
But I'm still my own man
Yeah I'm still my own man
And I do what I can
And while you're treating me raw
I still make my own law
I still make my own law
Come on
Believe in me
Believe in me
Yeah....me
Believe in me
Yeah
Come on
Believe in me
Can't you see just believe in me
Come on
Believe in me
Yeah yeah
Believe in me
I Love You
It's been four months since
You gone away
My bed is empty and my heart
Still feels the pain yeah the pain
I see your picture in a magazine
I look away still see you starin' at me
At me
Chorus
I walk the streets at night
And there's no one else in my sight
but you
In my mind
Cause I still love you
Yeah I still love you
I
Buy a ticket to a subway train
A one-way token just to end my pain
From you yeah from you
Ticket says destination unknown
The car stops and I'm back at home
all alone
Without you without you
Chorus
I walk the streets at night
And there's no one else in my
sight but you
In my mind
Cause I still love you
Yeah I still love you
I
I saw you at a restaurant down on
42nd Street
Drinkin' red wine and laughin'
I kept walkin' by myself with a bottle
of rye
I don't need you baby
And you're foolin' yourself when
you say
You don't need me
I said you're foolin' yourself
When you say you don't need me
And I'm lyin' fallin' down in the alley
Yeah I'm lyin' to myself as I'm
screamin'
Chorus
I saw some chick the other day
She had a smile that looked so cool
It looked like you so I walked away
My eyes are tired but I still look cool
My tears are past
And I don't need you, don't need
you, need you
"If you thought I needed you why
would I be lookin' at chicks and
lookin' at French fashion magazines"
Man In The Meadow
Extra extra read all about my
Loss of sanity
I have often wondered what my
Life really means to me
Wasted days and broken dreams
Let it all slip away from me
And if you pick up the pieces of
A broken man, you'll find a
Fan of the family
Yeah the family
Chorus
Now you're all alone
In the meadow
Sedate your lonely soul
With the man in the meadow
No need to telephone
When you're out in the meadow
Cause you live your life alone
With the man in the meadow
And me
Saw a friend of mine
Guess he just didn't see me
Looked into his eyes
And he walked right through me
He lived a life of alibies and
Broken ties that set him free yeah
free, yeah free
And why'd this dream fade so
Fast
And why am I lookin' towards
The past to set me free
From me and my family
My family yeah yeah
Set down beside your grave
At peace with God and the holy
Slave
We're gathered here to shed
A tear
And think about our goddamn mortal
Years
You had your start
You made your mark
And then you turn around
And leave us in the dark, fuck
In the dark
Chorus
(Fucked Up) Beyond Belief
"This is a warning"
You got democracy, debauchery,
and a communist regime
They tore, that wall down just to
keep people happy
But it goes back up again
The tax man cometh and he takes
all your money away
Tax bracket, what a racket
They spend it like two-bit thieves
The monster came up its ugly head
And it's just enough to keep
Your children fed?
You stumble, you get up and then
you heave
Man, it's so fucked up beyond
belief
Could It Be U
Chorus
Could it be you
Might be my woman
Could it be you
The one that makes me feel like a
man - yeah
Saw your gaze
It put me in a haze
It was amazing
I saw a little girl
Put me in a whirl
Just left me gazing
Chorus
The one that makes me feel like a
strong man
'Cause that's what I am
Came across this grace
Put me in my place
Baby
I'm still learning
That life is young
Past things I've done
Just for you
I'm yearning
Chorus
Could it be you
Could it be true
The one that makes me feel like a man
Could it be you
Could it be you
I'm still learning
I'm still learning
Just Not There
"Why does everything always end
up feeling so goddamn cold"
Once again I woke up this morning
And a warm spot still long cold gone
Then smell of you and your sweet perfume
Still lingers on, lingers on, lingers on
Chorus
I wrap my arms around you
But all I get is icy cold yeah
Run my hands through
Your long blonde hair
But once again you're just not there
Just not there
You know I look but just can't find the reasons
To face another day
Cause I feel like crawling up inside girl
Just fading away, fading away, fading away...
Chorus
That's alright, girl
I want you to know that I'll keep on walking
I got both my feet on the ground
And check it out I'm gonna stick it to you
Yesterday I met a girl just like you
She had the same smile and same sweet perfume
So I turned around and walked away
Me, my blade and my bottle of blues
My bottle of blues
My bottle of blues
Chorus
Repeat
That's alright, girl
I keep walking, I keep walking, I
keep walking, I keep
walking, I keep walking

Ooh
You got somethin' to say to me
Well say it to my face
I'm so sick of society

Hide, pretend you don't know me
The time will come, you'll pay
The price, just wait and
See

When that word means nothin'
To me
Just go away, you're fuckin'

Club of upper society
You twist shit up, you turn around
You think you're the picture of morality
The Majority
You call me the mean man
You point your finger at me
Having problems with authority
In every major city
And it's so easy for you
The majority, the majority
And there's no peace for you
The majority
Your white housewives
And your money-sucking friends
Don't need you to be I'll be me to
the end
And it's so easy for you
The majority, the majority
And there's no peace for you
You got to think about your children
Fuck bureaucracy
Take the weight off your shoulders
We're not the public enemy
Can't you see, can't you see
You call me the mean man
I say you call me the
mean man
And it's so easy for you,
the majority, the majority
And there's no peace

Your white housewives
And your money-sucking
friends
Don't need you to be

Got to think about the

10 Years
It's been a long time since I've seen
you, baby
Then you call came across my
telephone
Said old friends are meeting
Will you come up maybe
I said I'll try to make it
You left me talking to a tone
Ten years didn't seem so long
Has it been that long, baby
Has it been that long since I've
gone away
Many days and nights have
passed since
I've seen you, mama
So many things have passed our eyes
A ring has come and gone
from my finger, baby
I've stumbled, fallen down
and yes I've even cried
Chorus
It's been ten years since
I've seen you, baby
Since I've promised you the moon
It's been that long since
I've whispered in your ear
Let's celebrate now that we're home
(Whisper)
It's been a long time
since I've seen you, yeah!
You're a memory from the past
That'll always last
But life goes on, but it's been
so long...etc.
I think about the past, it's gone
away so fast
I'm still the same human being
I've traveled many miles and all
just the while
I've learned about the things I've seen
It's been ten years since I've seen
you, baby
Since I've promised you the moon
It's been that long since I've whispered
sweet in your ear
Let's celebrate now that we're home
It's been ten years since I've seen
you, baby
Since I've promised you the moon
It's been that long since I've whispered
in your ear
Maybe I'll call ya or just see ya soon
Swamp Song
I don't really need the ego
Of being a pop star
Playing rock & roll makes
Me stand hard & tall
Once an old man with blood on
his hands
Said "Pick up my guitar and use it"
The he took it from me said
"Let Your soul run free"
Chorus
People get so stuck on getting their
Name in lights
Fuckin' some famous model
Keepin' their assholes tight
So I played that guitar
Til my dick got hard
I fucked that bitch night & day
Time went by and that old man died
Got a note "Remember what I said"
Brought flowers to his grave
Laid 'em down, and my fingers
Started to bleed I was finally free
I was finally free yeah
Chorus
Uh uh uh
Don't get me wrong I ain't singin'
This song bout bros who truly deserve it
But money & fame is for those truly
Lame. The ones who need to get their
Heads lit
So I play my guitar, Yeah I played
that bitch all night
Long
Yeah I played my guitar I was
finally free
Chorus-Bridge
So keep your head clear don't
believe what you hear
Just play what comes from your soul
But if money & fame is your fuckin' game
Then I hope you die fat & old

Trouble always follows me
But trouble ain't a bad place to be
I'll get my shit by it, if I can
But I stand on my own, and I'm my own man
The only age I know is the dark age
All the people I know put me in a cage
The only age I know is the dark age
The only light I know is in this dark space
I'm the portrait of your patronization
Have you ever looked at my face?
They try to make a mess out of me
They're heading for a social catastrophe
They try to make a mess out of me
Alienation, false masturbation,
incrimination
My soul salvation, discrimination,
isolation
No consolation here
Always follow me
Always follow me
Always follow me
Always follow me
Always follow me
Always follow me
Always follow me

I'm a tell a lil tale about a
trifle ass crook
She was the love of my
life yeah well that's a joke
We got home early from
tour about a quarter to seven
After 6 months of hell I
missed my lil piece of heaven
Duff dropped me by the
pad about nine fifteen
Me benz was in the drive
way wait mine's black and that's
Dark green
The door was ajar I threw a clip in
my nine
I dropped my hat on disgust my
girl was blown his mind
I couldn't believe it she was sitting
there had knee pads
On and everything beat this
She had the nerve to ask "What
you doin home so soon"
Bitch this is my world, my house and my room
As she tried to explain with fake
tears in her eyes
I despised the past love and
believing her lies
Just pack your shit and honey
leave my ring
She left with what she came with
not a goddamn thing
I said honey you lost/now you're a mirage
So get that shit out of my driveway
and the fuck outta
Dodge Matt Dillon's gonna run
your ass out
I don't really need you
And I don't really want you baby
Said I
I don't really care
I I don't really need you mama
Said no more no more
This bed that you made's a been
torn and tattered
And it smells like another man
This bottle that I drink is for you baby
You've made me just a meaner man
I did all I could every change I got
Bought you diamonds pearls even
Gave you my rock. But you
Threw it away on a 6-month fling
This motherfucker's a square
Can't even sing
So you ladies be warned don't
diss my crew
Cause my crew will do for me
before you will do
But we got each other back
Enough's enough
That's Doc from the Mob and my
homeboy Duff
That's me that's right I'm sick of
hearing la de da le de da
From your ass
I don't really want you, baby
Said I don't really care
I - I don't really need you, mama
Said no more no more
This bed that you made's a been
torn and tattered
And it smells like another man
This bottle that I drink is for you
now, baby
You've made me just a meaner man, yeah
You said you'd really take care of me
Instead you just made me bleed
How's that make you feel, huh?
See I don't know what you're thinkin
My name's Doc not Nintendo
You can't play me
So don't call, don't come see me
I want you to leave the keys to my house
Leave the keys to my car
Leave me the keys to me homeboy's car
Cause I know you got his keys
Ice Cube said it best "A bitch is a

IF IT WAS UP TO ME
I'D BREAK DO
LET THE POOR HAVE IT ALL
BAN ALL WAR, IF YOU PLEASE
AND END DISEASE
(CHORUS)
Nasty Ho
You saved my soul
You made me hard
And put me in your hole
Yeah you
Feel so good
Dick is like a stiff hard piece of wood
Oh, I thought this was free
Don't lay guilt on me
This is larceny
You gotta let it go, let it go
Or let it flow, let it flow
I told you so, told you so
That I got no dough, got no dough
Oh just say no, just say no
Oh let it go, let it go
'cause now I know now I know
That you're so low
You nasty ho
You are insane
To think I'd piss my money down the drain
Yeah you
Think I came
I'm premature ejaculation trained
But you, you don't mean a thing
If my dick don't swing
Make my ding dong ring
You gotta let it go, let it go
Or let it flow, let it flow
I told you so, told you so
That I got no dough, got no dough
Oh just say no, just say no
Oh let it go, let it go
'cause now I know now I know
That you're so low
You nasty ho
Hey Joe
What d'ya know
You're hangin' low
I love you Joe
Nasty nasty ho
Always Wrong
I'm always wrong
You're always right
We're in our room
We start to fight
Now there's some light
I see the way
I don't care how
You must stay now
I'm in the mood
The light is soft
You want to talk
Talk about you
Inside I scream
I need you now
Inside of me
Inside of you
You're the kind of pain I can do without
You're the kind of pain I can do without
You're the kind of pain I can do without
You're the kind of pain I can do without
We're alright
You know we're alright
And if we lose
I know we don't die
Two lives and you're driving me crazy
I'm done with you obsessing you baby
Be good I'll be good to you baby
No lies I'll be here for you baby always
Always
Always
Always
Always
Two lives and you're driving me crazy
I'm done with you obsessing you baby
Be good I'll be good to you baby
No lies I'll be here for you baby
Angelina
She found a sucker for an easy ride
She got a taste for the easy life
But there ain't no answer
For a dancer in disguise
You amuse me darling
Oh Angelina
Oh oh oh -- have you seen her
Oh Angelina
The queen of misdemeanor
Well, there's a sunset billboard that's your life
How many times can you go under the knife
Your face is made of plaster
The Corvette won't go faster
Don't you know that I know you darling
Oh Angelina
Oh oh oh -- have you seen her
Oh Angelina
The queen of misdemeanor
Oh Angelina
Oh oh oh -- have you seen her
Oh Angelina
The queen of misdemeanor
I got so used to seeing you
Where would we be without you
I would hate to see you move
Angeline, Angeline
You know there ain't no answer
For a dizzy dancer in disguise
You can't help it darling
Oh Angelina
Oh oh oh -- have you seen her
Oh Angelina
The queen of misdemeanor
Oh Angelina
Oh oh oh -- have you seen her
Oh Angelina
The queen of old Noxema
Good News
You tried to bring me down
The other day
But I could see inside your head
It's sad to see you carry on
This way
It won't be long before you're dead
Why do you fight it
Why do you care
Why do you spread your germs everywhere
The good news is your dying
The bad news is I'm alive
The good news is your dying
The bad news is I'm alive
Everyone you touch They drop like flies
They don't realize you're sick
But I can see hatred in your eyes
A big price for a little dick
Why do you lose it
Let it slide
You're just another slave to suicide
The good news is your dying
The bad news is I'm alive
The good news is your dying
The bad news is I'm alive
It won't be long now
Before you're gone now
You're so wrong now
I said so long now
So long now
Why do you lose it
Let it slide
You're just another slave to suicide
The good news is your dying
The bad news is I'm alive
The good news is your dying
The bad news is I'm alive
The good news is your dying
The bad news is I'm alive
The good news is your dying
The bad news is I'm alive
Better Way
Set up the mission, unfurl the flag
It's time to lay roots down, take my head out of
the bag
Make me a baby, take me a wife
With these things, maybe I'll be alright
There's a better way
I know there's a better way
When I need it, and I need it for sure everyday
Fill up the museum, an island in the sun
More things that I don't need just pick me up
Head for the waterfall, don't drown in the juice
Make the right noises maybe I'll be alright
How come it's so hard to climb
And so easy to slide?
How come it's so easy to fly
And so hard to thrive?
There's a better way
There must be a better way
When I need it, and I need it for sure everyday
It's so much harder much harder to try
It's easier to lie, to turn a blind eye
But now
There's a better way, I know that there's a better
way
When I need it, and I need it for sure everyday
There's a better way it makes for a better way
When we need it, we need it
We need it for sure, everyday
Unfurl the flag
Got my head out of the bag
I know it makes for a better day
Feelings Are Good
I feel I feel
I feel and I feel good, it's understood
I hurt I hurt
I hurt and I'm here alert, feeling the hurt
Feelings are good
I'm sad I'm sad
I'm sad and I want my dad, I want my dad
I'm ashamed I'm so full of shame
I'm full of shame and it's not mine,
I won't take the blame
Feelings are good
This feeling thing is something new
This feeling thing has got me
Not knowing what to do with the feeling
I've got fear there's fear right here
There's fear right here it's under my breath
This fear is real
I feel I feel
I feel and I feel good, it's understood
Revolution
Demon mating saturating
Times it's my time
Demonstrating aggravating fight
I wanna fight
I got a reason for a revolution
Don't believe in a solution
Sick and tired of evolution
I got a reason for a revolution
Masturbating imitating life
I got no life
Penetrating transformating mind
My twisted mind
I got a reason for a revolution
Don't believe in a solution
Sick and tired of evolution
I got a reason for a revolution
You can be all you can be
Take a chance and run with me
There is no real guarantee
No oh no
I got a reason for a revolution
Don't believe in a solution
Sick and tired of evolution
I got a reason for a revolution
I got a reason
I got a reason
I got a reason

Take your time, take your precious time
You're so blind, you're severly blind
But never you mind, 'cause I just came to grind
You're a bitch, I'm a jerk
I don't think that we can work
You're a prat, I'm a prick

mind
You're a bitch, I'm a jerk

Union
Tell me mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the sickest Sex Pistol of them all?
Is it Johnny Rotten? I don't know
I'd really like to ask him, but he drives me up
the wall
Now take old Sidney Vicious, he's a clown
He'd turn his mother in for less than half a crown
But I wish I had a union
I wish I had a union
But I wish I had a union
I wish I had a union
Now take my mate, old Cookie, he's off his head
Just give him his Daily Mirror and a pint of Whatney's
red
Now here comes Stevie Jonesy, He's a slag
He loves to get his knob sucked wrapped in a Union
Jack
But I wish I had a union
I wish I had a union
I wish I had a union
I wish I had a union
Never trust a hippie, they killed Bambi
We gave a little filth and fury for all your mugs
to see
There's nothing like the real thing, so they say
Just like a creepy cockroach, we'll never fade away
But I wish I had a union
I wish I had a union
I wish I had a union
I wish I had a union

Story Of My Life
Boredom's tearing me apart
I entered a race that I can't start
They told me if I move that I'd go too far
But I think I'll stay in my shangri-la
That's the story of my life (yeah)
Another day goes drifting by (away)
Now I can't live, but I won't die (no)
That's the story of my life
Oh I just barely stay afloat
I'm too scared to rock the boat
But when I wake is when I feel (I feel)
I think of myself, it makes me ill
That's the story of my life (yeah)
Another junkie in the sky (oh yeah)
I can't live, but I won't die (no)
That's the story of my life
Bury myself in the desert sands
'cause I don't care for the world's demands
But at the end of the day I think I'll be alright
(alright)
Hope I can make it through another long, lonely
night
That's the story of my life (yeah)
Another day goes drifting by (no)
I can't live, but I won't die (oh no)
That's the story of my life

It makes me wounder why
Now you know I'm here to stay
And as I find my way
That you know I'll live another day
Things are so much clearer
The second time around
The view is so much better
From six feet underground
Yeah

____________
You can't escape the past

Seattle Head
When I was young I had a dream
Movin' to the city, sight unseen
Nineteen years of age I packed up my bags
Hollywood was all the rage
I came to you in 1984
You showed me in, then you shut the door
It didn't take me long to learn to play the game
A kick in the head always feels the same
Chorus:
Los Angeles, you're a fuckin' whore
Hollywood, you're an open sore
I played it well, and I played it fast
Livin' slow was in the past
Chicks and drugs and gettin' burnt
Just a few of the things I learned
Got sick and tired of bein' scared as hell
A wasted man is just a shell of myself
But that was then, and this is now
My pretty baby, I've changed somehow
Chorus:
Los Angeles, you've lost your grip
Drugs and lies and whores suckin' dick
I don't know if I could do it diffrently
L.A. has had me for so long
When I look, I can see things diffrently
What doesn't kill me, makes me stong
A kick in the head
Then & Now
When I first saw you, baby
Yeah, you were gone
So far gone
The scene was set for Armageddon
And your grip on me was strong
Chorus:
If you saw me yesterday
You wouldn't recognize my face
If you saw me yesterday,
Yeah, you might man away
Sister Uptown, you're a metaphor
For all life's greif and pain
Brother Downtown, such a devil
Make a snake out of any man
(Chorus)
If you saw me yesterday
You wouldn't recognize my face
If you saw me yesterday,
Yeah, you might ran away
Don't feel like crawling out of my cage
Some other song and dance
About a thing from my past
In the end I lost a few friends
So I got up and I ran away
Drugs, party, in 526
Is where I got my kicks,
But where are they today?
Dead and gone
The damage is done
I got nothing else to say
(Chorus)
Wrap My Arms
Wildest stars never shine this way
Deeper sleep never seems to stay
Finer things always find escape
You are all things
Chorus:
I'm gonna wrap my arms aroung you
Floating 'round in fragrant grace
Gonna wrap my arms around you
Floating 'round in fragrant grace
Dancing children are livin' bloom
Finding you grows closer, too
Everything is flying around our room
In my arms I found you
Dark Days
Dark days, black nights
Now you say it's gonna be alright
My way, your plight
All you ever wanna do is fight
Chorus:
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna say
Such a waste of time
Can't stand another day
There's nothing to this game
Go and get a life
Go and get away
Away and save me
My way, your way
Don't you know, something's got to break
Get out
Nothing left to take
I've got to save a little piece of grace
(Chorus)
Whatcha gonna do without me
Now that I've got away?
This last time is the last time again
You'll never feel the same
(Chorus)
Want To
Teach you how to stand
Take you by your hand
Lift up all your shame
Not dwell upon your pain
Learn to want again
Lift out all that's stained
Chorus:
When a fall decides
What you're gonna
And the fallin' tides
Leave you spiraling through
Gonna do your time of
Lament and shame
With the moon above,
Remain your only friend
Show you how to feel
Look upon what's real
Can't realize what's gone
Til your life has come undone
Shake your world away
I can't change the things you said
(Chorus)
Misery
In the shortest days
When the light unbraids
Oh, misery
When heaven called your name
We never felt the same
Misery has come to stay
Chorus:
Let the stories
Gather round as tiny songs
Some words of truth
They come from pain
Long words of rain
And a drift of sand
Misery, where have you gone
I said joy my friends
And a bitter end
Misery, oh misery
(Chorus)
What the hell you gonna do?
Is this hell I'm going through?
What the hell you gonna do?
Is this hell I'm going through?
Now the fruit is gone
And the nights are long
Misery, she's come to stay
Let us say her name
Let her remain
Memories will have to do
(Chorus)
Criminal
See the man, the angry one
Finding nothing till he's too far gone
Freezing wind, don't you think it's cold
Simian eyes, find the weaker load
Chorus:
Oh, God, can't you see that we're miserable
The city's breaking us apart
It's in the man, the angry one
I wonder what he has become
See the young girl,
Got beaten down for fun
She didn't ask to be the chosen one
Chorus:
Oh, God, don't you think it's criminal
You made a world with a broken heart
I can't see how we are going to get through it
You set us here, we're full of fear
It's so unclear what we're going to do
See the police, they're shaken up with fear
Wild swings to the nearest one
He tried to save her, he couldn't run
A wasted life with no reason
(Chorus)
Queen Joanasophina
She is pure ecstasy
She came into this world
In between
I know you are a queen
Singing beautiful songs about what is wrong
And all those groovy things
Chorus:
Queen Joanasophina
Gonna get it right
Queen Joanasophina
Gonna get it right
Yeah, Yeah
This time
She caught the family disease
She got her junk for free
And found the drink
She thinks the world is so obscene
But now that she's clean
She's a beautiful one
Like a young boy's dream
(Chorus)
Shallow
One plus one is a funny thing
That I can't understand
If you might find an answer
Won't you let me know
What's that?
Yeah, come again
You don't understand
All of the things that I thought true
Have turned out blue and sad
If I go fallin' back
Will you call my name?
I thought you a believer
But, no, you are shallow
The absence of you at this time
Has really let me know
Chorus:
You're Shallow
Gonna put you back
Gonna put you back
You're shallow
It is sad and blue
Yet, so true
Yeah, you are shallow
All of the things that I've learned from
Have let me know
(Chorus)
Superman
Fate finds a way of picking you up
when you're down
I remember everything,
and I know for sure
Ain't like it was before,
I know I can shut that door
Chorus:
I wanna be your superman
Won't you give me your hand
So I can show you
Let down your hair
And move on over next to me
I want to see your skin
Beautiful white
Soft in the light
We can forget the past
We can have tonight at last
(Chorus)
You can alway's lean on me
You can dress me up
To whatever your vision of a dream man is
Oh, can't you see
I wanna be your everything
I remember yesterday
It's a long ways away
I don't know just what I'm gonna do
But I wanna be right next to you
(Chorus)
King of Downtown
You're the king of downtown
You got nothing left to say
You bled all believers
And washed them away
You're the king of downtown
And your jesters have stayed
But you've got nothin' comin'
'Cause you've got nothing left to say
Chorus:
Do you feel alright?
Can you take it?
All's left forsaken
You go back to Idaho
You're mommy is waiting
You've got nothin' left to show
Chorus:
Can you feel it?
Does it feel alright?
Can you take it
They had you to believe in
Then you went away
Did you give them time
It's good you couldn't stay
(Chorus)
Your Way
There were so many crimes
I don't wanna do that time no more
There were so many lines
I think we've heard them all before
Chorus:
Yeah, I think you could tell
Yeah, I think you could tell
Yeah, I think you could tell
Don't bring your friends into this
You make a plan,
and then you make a wish
I wanna see the world your way
I get so close, then I shy away
I wanna see the world your way
I get so close, but I shy away
