The Replacements - I'll Be You lyrics

If it's a temporary lull Why'm i bored right outta my skull? Man, i'm dressin' sharp an' feelin' dull Lonely, i guess that's where i'm from If i was from canada Then i'd best be called lonesome [btw, i read in an interview that paul was struck with how some people in Canada used the word "lonesome" instead of "lonely," hence this lyric.] And if it's just a game Then i'll break down just in case Hurry up, we're runnin' in our last race Well, i laughed half the way to tokyo I dreamt i was surfer joe An' what that means, i don't know A dream too tired to come true Left a rebel without a clue And i'm searching for somethin' to do And if it's just a game Then we'll hold hands just the same So what, we're bleeding but we ain't cut And i could purge my soul perhaps For the imminent collapse Oh yeah, i'll tell you what we could do You be me for a while I'll be you A dream too tired to come true Left a rebel without a clue Won't you tell me what i should do? And if it's just a lull Why'm i bored right outta my skull? Oh yeah, keep me from feeling so dull And if it's just a game Then we'll break down just in case Then again, i'll tell you what we could do You be me for a while You be me for a while And i'll be you
