I put on my clothes like a body guard
|
I put the dogs on patrol in my own back yard
|
I don't want to fight, but I'm constantly ready
|
And I don't rock the boat, but its always unsteady
|
|
There's an elephant in my head
|
And I tiptoe around it
|
There are egg shells on the floor
|
Therefore I never touch the ground
|
|
It's like that old black hole
|
No matter how you try
|
You set out each day
|
Never to arrive
|
|
I got my eye on the prize, but it looks just like the mystery
|
And it all goes by on the lonesome trail to victory
|
I'm drawing the blinds; I've got my own four walls
|
Man the show really starts once the curtain falls
|
|
Take this thorn from my side
|
Fix this chip on my shoulder
|
Time is racing with the clock
|
And I ain't getting any older
|
|
It's like that old black hole
|
No matter how you try
|
You set out each day
|
Never to arrive
|
|
I put on my finest thread
|
And I wrap up my body tight
|
With the sun in my eyes
|
I step into the night
|
Like a mystery in the dark
|
Oh its just another kind of light
|
|
I don't expect you do believe me, but everything is alright
|
I don't make rules for a living
|
I don't do tricks for a dime
|
I was born on a good day - deaf, dumb, and blind
|
Who am I to tell the truth
|
Oh, I don't even know what it is
|
|
Well I don't know how to say it
|
But I know that I can show you
|
I said I don't know how to say it
|
But I know that I can show you
|
|
I tied my boots up tight and I head straight to bed
|
There's a pistol and a crystal underneath my pillow
|
There's a tender heart inside that ugly armadillo
|
These are tears of joy cried the weeping willow
|
There's a spirit in the air, there ain't to way around it
|
I was not prepared to lose it all the moment that I found it
|
|
It's like that old black hole
|
No matter how you try
|
You set out each day
|
Never to arrive
|
