You ran away with your conscience dear
|
There was a red flag waving in my ear saying
|
"Stay away, you've got something to fear"
|
Well why did I not choose to hear?
|
Well I am through with suffering
|
Gonna make better choices I don't need no wedding ring
|
I can sing, I can dance
|
But I can't make thus feeling cease
|
Cause deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
We all got our cross to bear
|
Our Star of David, our dreadlocked hair
|
And oh yeah baby, I still care
|
And if you need some help
|
You know I'll always be there
|
|
Well it's been a strange year
|
You've been a very bad dog
|
As my fire went out
|
You'd put on another log
|
But it was worth never having any peace
|
And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Some nights I thought I'd cry forever
|
I'd wish him away and then I'd turn into a beggar
|
But it was worth always scraping my knees
|
And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease
|
|
I wear my heart like a wrinkle on my sleeve
|
|
And I've got the aching love that only you can relieve
|
But I'm not afraid to go down with a sinking friend
|
I'm gonna live out my dreams even if they kill me in the end
|
|
[Chorus]
|
