Hey mama, when you leave
|
Don't leave a thing behind
|
I don't want nothin'
|
I can't use nothin'
|
|
Take care into the hall
|
And if you see my friends
|
Tell them I'm fine
|
Not using nothin'
|
|
Almost burned out my eyes
|
Threw my ears down to the floor
|
I didn't see nothin'
|
I didn't hear nothin'
|
|
I stood there like a block of stone
|
Knowin' all I had to know
|
And nothin' more
|
Man, that's nothin'
|
|
As brothers our troubles are
|
Locked in each others arms
|
And you better pray
|
They never find you
|
|
Your back ain't strong enough
|
For burdens doublefold
|
They'd crush you down
|
Down into nothin'
|
|
Being born is going blind
|
And buying down a thousand times
|
To echoes strung
|
On pure temptation
|
|
Sorrow and solitude
|
These are the precious things
|
And the only words
|
That are worth rememberin'
|
|
