Junkie walking through the twilight, I'm on my way home
|
I left three days ago, no one seems to know I'm gone
|
Home is where the hatred is, and home is filled with pain
|
But it might not be such a bad idea if I never, never went home again
|
|
Home is where I live inside my white powder dream
|
Home was once an empty vacuum but it's filled now with my silent scream
|
Home is where the needle marks try to heal my broken heart
|
But it might not be such a bad idea if I never, never went home again
|
|
Stand as far away from me as you can and ask me why
|
Hang on to your rosary beads, close your eyes and watch me die
|
You keep saying, kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it
|
God, but did you ever try
|
And turn your sick soul inside out
|
So that the world, so that the world
|
Can watch you die [x3], say...
|
|
Home is where I live inside my white powder dream
|
Home was once an empty vacuum but it's filled now with my silent scream
|
Home is where the needle marks try to heal my broken heart
|
But it might not be such a bad idea if I never, never went home again
|
|
Don't you know I might never go home, never go home
|
Make all these plans and keep packing my bags
|
Not go, hey, not go
|
Keep saying... Tomorrow
|
First thing tomorrow
|
Tomorrow I'll go
|
Know it all the time, I'm just biding time
|
|
Say, kick it, quit it
|
|
I might never go home, never go home
|
Pack all my bags and keep standing around
|
And down
|
And say I'm running and running
|
But I can't get away
|
Everybody ain't that strong, ain't that strong
|
Go too long, feel yourself crash
|
|
kick it, quit it
|
can't go home
|
holding onto something
|
kick it, quit it
|
can't go home
|
|
yes, you'd like to go home
|
mamma could change it, daddy could fix it, yes, if you could go home
|
mama don't need to see me this way, know me this way and touch me this way
|
love me this way, can't go .. home
|
say it to myself...
|
kick it, quit it
|
can't go home
|
I feel it in my soul
|
kick it, quit it
|
can't go home
|
yes, yes, saying, saying
|
kick it, quit it
|
can't go home
|
yes, but I know, but I know, but I...
|
can't go home
|
yes, I'd like to go home, can't go home
|
I could start all over
|
Like to go home
|
Say yeah, like to go home
