| You were running blind
|
| Following your feet to try
|
| And outrun your fate
|
| Standing in a field of flowers
|
| Cerebral voices the loudest
|
| All hollering your name
|
| Is it paradise?
|
| Only if it blows your mind
|
| And then blows you away
|
| Sometimes you wheel
|
| Sometimes you deal
|
| Sometimes you have to rob and steal
|
| Call you a sinnerman
|
| Or call it second sight
|
| Now they treat 'em all the same
|
| And it’s the the thinnest line
|
| They hung you out by
|
| You were holding my hands and saying
|
| «What if I only ever took what’s mine?»
|
| I wanted to tell them
|
| That if I could’ve led a different life
|
| Could’ve led a different life
|
| But now I need somebody who can ease my mind
|
| Need somebody who can ease my mind
|
| You know I could’ve led a different life
|
| Could’ve led a different life
|
| Pulling me aside
|
| Giving me your last advice
|
| And the whole house shakes
|
| Saying keep it in the family, hide it
|
| Don’t make the mistakes that I did
|
| 'Cause it’ll wear your soul away
|
| And I would’ve tried if only it was black and white
|
| But it’s bullet gray
|
| Sometimes you wheel
|
| Sometimes you deal
|
| Sometimes you have to rob and steal
|
| Call you a sinnerman
|
| Call it second sight
|
| Now they treat 'em all the same
|
| It’s the thinnest line
|
| To hang you by
|
| Holding my hands and saying
|
| «You know I only ever took what’s mine»
|
| I wanted to tell them
|
| That if I could’ve led a different life
|
| Could’ve led a different life
|
| But now I need somebody who can ease my mind
|
| Need somebody who can ease my mind
|
| You know I
|
| Need the remedy to cure my vice
|
| Need the Valium to sleep at night
|
| (Night)
|
| What if I only ever took what’s mine?
|
| I wanted to tell them
|
| That if I could have led a different life
|
| Could’ve led a different life
|
| But now I need somebody who can ease my mind
|
| Need the remedy to cure my vice
|
| Need somebody who can ease my mind |
