Two, three, four!. . You say you don't like my kind. I fit a picture in your mind. No it don't matter what I say. I hear ya bitchin' when I walk away.
Here we stand, caught between the cradle and the grave. In a world that gives you nothing but your name. With every step you take you must be brave. Nothing lost is nothing gained.
I read the paper just the other day. About a buddy of mine who headed to an early grave. They say he went in his sleep with a smile on his face. Bet he was dreaming 'bout better days.
How can I defend. "Let's live for now not then". We're chasing tail lights. Let them fade into the distance. Let's say the engine stalled and start again.
And I was the kind of guy. Who'd never let you look inside. I'd smile, when I was crying. I, had nothing but a lot to lose. Thought I had a lot to prove.
As a hard rain beats down in the night it sounds like applause. Still I can't hear a sound with the beat of my heart. I can't pick up that phone anymore and I need to confess.
And there I stood, just like a soldier. I was tough, until I saw her. I said Hello, but she just turned away. . Hey Romeo, whatcha doin' with my girl,.
I'm lying here beside you in someone else's bed. Knowing what we're doing's wrong. But better left unsaid. Your breathing sounds like screaming. It's all that I can stand.
It's all the same. Only the names will change. Everyday. It seems we're wastin' away. . Another place. Where the faces are so cold. I drive all night.
Take a look around, this is what I see. Is there anybody else that feels like me, yeah. You sweat, you sweat, you bleed, you bleed. What you get ain't what you see.
Yo no vi las flores marchitar. Ni ese frío en tus ojos al mirar. No, no vi la realidad. Me ibas a dejar. . Dicen que la vida, baby, no es como la ves.
Yeah, Yeah. Yeah, Yeah. Yeah, Yeah. Yeah, Yeah. . Dateline early sunday morning. Shots ring out without a warning. No one seems to even blink in this town.
Angels falling from the sky. Imagine that imaine that. Nobody getting out of here alive. No turning back no turning back. Who's going to bail out all our shattered dreams.
Rainy night and we worked all day. . Both got jobs cause there's bills to pay. We've got something they can't take away. Our love, our lives. Close the door, leave the cold outside.
I been knocked down so many times. Counted out 6, 7, 8, 9. Written off like some bad deal. If you're breathing you know how it feels. Call it karma, call it luck.
Since you're been gone now honey life ain't nothing but sad luck days. I begged on my knees now, sugar. You acted like you never knew my name. My friends saw you at the station.
I have walked all alone. On these streets I call home. Streets of hope, streets of fear. Through the sidewalk cracks time disappears. . I was lost, on my knees.
I'm in this world. I've got no fun. Still standing strong. In army of one. So sign me up. I'm a soldier. . I've got a voice. It's all on me. A beating heart inside of me.
Alarm clock rings at 6: 45. Must have hit that snooze button at least 3 times. I'm wishing this morning was still last night. On any other day, I just might wanna die.
I'm looking at the pages of my life. Faded memories of me and you. Mistakes you know I've made a few. I took some shots and fell from time to time. Baby, you were there to pull me through.
