I was sitting in my room, dark and gray and crying. Someone in my life I fear was at the point of dying. A cold wind blew right up my spine, it was the break of dawn.
Wrote a song, it was wrong from it's very first conception. Seemed I struggled on every line. It wasn't fast, wasn't pretty, wasn't serious or witty. The song that didn't rhyme.
I can't do right when all I want to do is wrong. My conscience sounds alarm like the waning of a Chinese gong. I know about the punishment, I know about the law.
When I was 10, fell out of bed. Got three stitches in my head. It hurt like hell. I saw the blood, I felt the pain. I'd like to feel it once again. 'Cause I don't feel it.
I wake up every morning, Six o'clock, I'm right on time. I eat a low fat breakfast, I tie a perfect tie. I kiss the wife, I hug the kids, I pat the dogs and cats.
Somebody told me love's a beautiful thing. And when I found it all the bells would just ring. The sun would shine and all the birds would sing. Then I met you.
I'm so angry. I'm so angry. Something that you said burnin' in my head. I'm so angry. I'm so angry. Everything you do makes me furious with you. . It's like a poison to me.
Me and Iggy were giggin' with Ziggy and kickin' with the MC5. Ted and Seger were burnin' with fever. and let the Silver bullets fly. The Kid was in his crib, shady wore a bib.
Got a cut on my thigh, got a nail in my eye. And I'm bleedin' all over the wall. Got a barbed wire bat and a dude on the mat. Ain't getting up soon at all.
