| I watch myself on TV, I’m a faker, a paper clown
|
| It’s clear to all my friends that I habitually lie
|
| I just bring them down
|
| I claim proneness to exaggeration
|
| But the truth lies in my frustration
|
| The children of the night all pass me by
|
| Have to dress myself up in brandy in sleep I hide
|
| But I don’t care how much I booze
|
| There ain’t no way out
|
| There ain’t no way out
|
| I don’t care what you say boy
|
| There ain’t no way out
|
| I lose so many nights of sleep, worrying about my responsibility
|
| All the problems that screw me up, down to him or me?
|
| My ego will just confuse me, one day it’s going to up and use me
|
| Dish me out another tailor-made compliment
|
| Tell me about some destiny I can’t prevent
|
| How ever much I squirm
|
| There ain’t no way out
|
| There ain’t no way out
|
| I don’t care what you say boy
|
| There ain’t no way out
|
| There ain’t no way out
|
| And the night comes down like a cell door closing
|
| Suddenly I realize that I’m writing now more honestly
|
| While all alone with a bottle and my head up floating
|
| Far away from the phone and the conscience going on at me and on at me
|
| And I don’t care what you say
|
| There ain’t no way out, no way out, there ain’t no way out
|
| Just drive me
|
| There ain’t no way out…
|
| I walk into a club, and know one seems to know me
|
| I have to tell the story of my life, to keep from being thrown out there and
|
| then
|
| It all seems so futile can I live with some shy stud who disowned me
|
| Can’t face the fact that once you open up for real you become ambivalent
|
| They both let you in, there ain’t no way out
|
| There ain’t no way out
|
| I don’t care what you say boy, there ain’t no way out
|
| Take it from me
|
| Now the walls are all clawed and scratched, like by some soul insane
|
| In the morning I hung-overly detach myself, I’ll take no blame
|
| I just can’t face my failure, I’m nothing but a well-fucked sailor
|
| You at home can easily decide what’s right
|
| By glancing over so briefly at what I write
|
| But it don’t help me that you know, there ain’t no way out
|
| No way out
|
| No way out
|
| I don’t care what you say, there ain’t no way out
|
| There ain’t no way out… |
