Well a thing was said to me
|
time's your enemy
|
it may heal a wound, but it won't hide a scar
|
and the only thing to do
|
is to yourself be true
|
'cause a head that's in the clouds won't see the stars
|
|
When I was young I never walked away
|
I'd nail my colours to the wall
|
though black and white soon turned to shades of grey
|
there is one thing that I really know for sure
|
|
Nobody's gonna set me up
|
nobody's gonna set me up
|
|
There's a bitterness in you
|
'cause all you ever do
|
is to drag your spirit screaming to the floor
|
but you gotta make your luck
|
before your time is up
|
and they take you in your box out through the door
|
|
But I'm not saying I don't care at all
|
I'd rescue you before you drown
|
but if behind my back they start to talk
|
I'm a tougher kind of man this time around
|
|
Nobody's gonna set me up
|
nobody's gonna set me up
|
|
When you look back and see what you have done
|
well was it really that much fun
|
to laugh and kick the fallen ones
|
|
Gonna grow another skin
|
this one's getting thin
|
I've been bitten twice but never lost my nerve
|
well you gotta hide the hurt
|
when people dish the dirt
|
'cause if you don't try nothing that's what you deserve
|
|
There are people with their eyes of green
|
smiling when you take a fall
|
maybe a friend or someone never seen
|
but even with my back against the wall
|
|
Nobody's gonna set me up
|
nobody's gonna set me up
|
|
People said to me
|
time's your enemy
|
it may heal a wound, but it won't hide a scar
|
|
Nobody's gonna set me up
|
nobody's gonna set me up
|
|
And the only thing to do
|
is to yourself be true
|
'cause a head that's in the clouds won't see the stars
