| I been deep in the weeds for so long now
|
| That it’s starting to look like up to me
|
| I got fireflies sending signals out
|
| But it looks like it’s all up to me
|
| Life, she caught me slumbering
|
| The wake up call came much too late
|
| I went to dial your number friend
|
| But the numbers didn’t add up straight
|
| I had nothing to show you but I had somewhere to go
|
| So I walked outside, on down the line
|
| And I lay my body down, can’t get my feet back on the ground
|
| Walk my head around, walk my head around
|
| If I can stay alive, If I can stay alive, If I can stay alive
|
| I could be somebody tomorrow
|
| I’m not saying keep sharp objects away
|
| But I cut this shirtsleeve from my heart
|
| And if red is the color of life and love
|
| I want to wear your love like heaven, yea
|
| My desire to survive is second only to my desire to be loved by you
|
| Let me take you
|
| To the waters edge, show you how beautiful you are in the reflection of these
|
| tears
|
| In the reflection of these years
|
| If I can stay alive, if I can stay alive, If I can stay alive
|
| I could be somebody tomorrow
|
| You say you’d love me anyway, and if I were the hotel maid I think you’d love
|
| me more
|
| But I feel like a loser, like a shaker not a mover, like a worn out lonely whore
|
| I been deep in the weeds for so long now
|
| Machete swing don’t cut me down
|
| One more day and I just might
|
| Turn this darkness into light
|
| If I can stay alive, if I can stay alive, if I can stay alive
|
| I could be somebody tomorrow
|
| Him, run for |
