Sympathize Lyrics - Supply And Demand - Amos Lee

It ain't no jive 

I was burnin' alive 

Whenever you walked in the room 

It happened so quickly 

I was feelin' so sickly 

Like a lover who lost his muse 

The sharks in the tank 

The man in the bank 

He wants my money to loan 

I can't understand 

What the hell is his plan? 

I ain't even got a home 

Ain't got a home 

The girl on the street 

With holes in her feet 

Looks through eyes of a clown 

She don't look mad 

Just feelin' kinda sad 

So I just walk around 

I reassess, she's down on her luck 

She's reading a book of lies 

I don't know when I'll be comin' home, baby 

But I sure can sympathize 

Can sympathize 

Angels spread their wings 

On all the dirty things 

You do 

She drops to the floor 

Her head's by the door 

Her bible is by her side 

Heaven is callin' 

The new world is fallin' 

And she ain't got a single person left 

To confide 

No one to confide 

I sympathize 

Can sympathize
