I've been sold down the river
|
And I've been told that Jesus delivers
|
But don't believe everything that you bleed
|
It may mean nothing to you but it means something to me
|
|
I got sidetracked and rearranged
|
And like a leper, I've been estranged
|
And drawn to fame like a moth to a flame
|
Living hand to mouth, but I'm hoping for change
|
|
I've been drowning in the Queen's tears
|
I've been staring at a squareface in the mirror for years
|
She feels like water and she tastes like wind
|
And her fire burns hotter when the night rolls in
|
|
You've been a saint
|
I've been a sinner
|
You're a fat cat
|
I'm getting thinner
|
I'm having trouble telling wrong from right
|
These slippery handshakes that keep me awake at night
|
|
Oh x2013 I think you've seen me before
|
You had your eyes on mine 'cause your grass don't grow
|
This ain't a song, it's a call to arms
|
There's a gathering storm
|
Better sound the alarm
|
|
I've been drowning in the Queen's tears
|
I've been staring at a squareface in the mirror for years
|
She feels like water and she tastes like wind
|
And her fire burns hotter when the night rolls in
|
|
None of your friends ever know what to say
|
'Cause what you wish for tomorrow
|
You could have today
|
None of your friends ever know what to say
|
'Cause what you wish for tomorrow
|
You could have today
|
|
Up sister
|
Keep your head on
|
Living in the past but the past is gone
|
Up sister
|
Can you hear?
|
That the future is here, the future is here now
|
Up sister
|
Keep your head on
|
Living in the past but the past is gone
|
Up sister
|
Come clean
|
It's a slippery slope and you're the avalanche queen
|
|
None of your friends ever know what to say
|
'Cause what you wish for tomorrow
|
You could have today
|
None of your friends ever know what to say
|
'Cause what you wish for tomorrow
|
You could have today
|
