I said I sometimes feel like I'm hopelessly down the line Can't be doing with life, can't be doing with time But I take no chances and I take no fun From any single thing I've ever goddamm done Said I make no promises but I'd neva keep 'em anyway What the hell do you want with me what the hell can you say Living in a world that never had a chance I'm living in a house with all the doors kicked down I'm falling down into a spiral of depression and despair Clawing at my innocence darkness beyond compare And the world in which we live is only constant in our dreams BUt the fabric of my existence comes undone at the seams So I lose myself in thoughts of a single advance And I lose myself in dances, neva thought that I could dance BUt what with all the movements and the poetry we make The wreckage of our innocence is all that we can take from our overbearing confidence we build it up inside And twist it out of shape into moulds of hate and pride So when I look out of my window through the pouring rain Well tell me what do you think I saw?!! Everytime I build it up they knock it down again 'Til I can't abide to see it tumble and can't stand to see it raised But what with all the evidence mounting up in my defence And the everlasting reaches of my lack of common sense I think I might be better off if I just left you the f** alone!
Said I sometimes feel like an angel But sometimes like a child Hesitant, expectant yet excited Turning the page to a new chapter Cut me out until I walk alone Every night I walk alone Every night I stay at home Every time I feel in need 'Cept every time I feel at ease So when I set myself up for the fall of a lifetime It sometimes feels like I could wait for a lifeline But other times feelings exceed And other times hearts decrease Without question or pause They just march into the claws Of the demon in my dreams So wait up my dear Fire's burning, sit near And tell me of your childhood and your innocence lost Tell me things I always knew would neva come true That are waiting right before my eyes It's a shame BUt now that I'm the same As every other person on the planet I feel like lashing out Every night I walk alone Every night I stay at home Every time I feel in need 'Cept every time I feel at ease So hit me Make me crawl Heaven knows Everything you have is all a figment of your dreams And you'd better realise soon that everything ain't what it seems Or this world'll chew you up and spit you out into the black And the shock of your revolution could give you a heart attack But me, I'm alright 'cos I know what's going on 'Cept I can't find the patience that others seem to have Just to keep fighting to stay Alive!
