| Lo, she’s seas apart from me
|
| Possessed behind the eyes
|
| Well, apart from the frightening, the moaning, the biting
|
| He seemed to be a nice guy
|
| And I know what she thinks when she looks at me
|
| When she looks with such despair
|
| Well, you’re not the only one around here
|
| That needs a bit of fresh air
|
| 'Cause I’m a sad sack post-teen
|
| Caught up in the love machine
|
| No dream, come clean, walking like a zombie
|
| Like a zombie
|
| And I’m a coal train, fast lane
|
| Caught up in the dirty rain
|
| No pain, no gain, walking like a zombie
|
| Like a zombie
|
| Well, this old place here, man, it’s falling apart
|
| She’s on the road, there she goes, but she won’t get far
|
| I’m on a show to parole to the toad in the hole
|
| I gotta grow some roots, gotta prop up the bar
|
| I got bloodshot eyes and there’s blood in my teeth
|
| I got a ripped-up jacket and a friend who’s a thief
|
| Well, I’ma coughing out my mouth, trying to pull it out
|
| But the fire inside keeps burning, burning out
|
| 'Cause I’m a sad sack post-teen
|
| Caught up in the love machine
|
| No dream, come clean, walking like a zombie
|
| Like a zombie
|
| And I’m a coal train, fast lane
|
| Caught up in the dirty rain
|
| No pain, no gain, walking like a zombie
|
| Like a zombie
|
| Hold your own in the situation
|
| Don’t be afraid to be a friend
|
| 'Cause I won’t hurt you, girl, or leave you a loose end
|
| You make me alive enough to love again
|
| 'Cause I’m a sad sack post-teen
|
| Caught up in the love machine
|
| No dream, come clean, walking like a zombie
|
| Like a zombie
|
| And I’m a coal train, fast lane
|
| Caught up in the dirty rain
|
| No pain, no gain, walking like a zombie
|
| Like a zombie
|
| 'Cause I’m a sad sack post-teen
|
| Caught up in the love machine
|
| No dream, come clean, walking like a zombie
|
| Like a zombie
|
| And I’m a coal train, fast lane
|
| Caught up in the dirty rain
|
| No pain, no gain, walking like a zombie
|
| Like a zombie
|
| But she’s a howler
|
| Or even got signed before my father
|
| Losing her love without a light on
|
| Losing it all another way |
