Who drove the red sports car from the mansion
And laid upon the grass in summer time ?
And who done me out high time fashion
And made me read between the lines ?
And who said, "Follow the man, it's your only chance,
Sit on your throne, you got to make it on your own, on your own"?
And who said, "Ha, ha, look at you, look at you,
You got jam on your face."
And who did your homework and read your Bible
And signed your name every place ?
And who said, "Fortunes untold don't go by gold,
You're much better known, you got to make it on your own,
On your own." Ah, ah, huh uh.
And do you remember, do you remember this time,
I said a long time ago when I came walkin' down,
I came walkin' down, ha, by Maggie's place, ha ha ha,
It started comin' on rain, huh, it started comin' on rain,
'Cause I had nothing on but a shirt and a pair of pants
And I was getting wet, I was getting wet, saturated, saturated there,
And Maggie opened up the window and Jane swung out her right arm,
She said, "Hi!" I said. "Hi, how're you doing, baby ?"
She said, "Come on in out the rain, come on in out the rain,
Lord, come on in out the rain, sit down by the fireside,
And dry yourself." Achoo, do it, do it, ha ha ha, I got caught,
I got caught in a, in a bag, in the bag, oh Lord,
I said, "I don't mind if I do, I don't mind if I do." Ha, aah...(I don't believe you anymore)
Put away those eyes
Stop your mouth from moving, its only breath and lies
Bite down, kill the words
They'll only poison you they'll make you stomach burn
No heaven inside
Just mistrust and lies
In you bedroom so warm
This sickness was born
You could've stopped a scene
You couldn't want it cause you always live so clean
In your smile, there's no belief
Those lips are cracking now
Just like the flesh beneath
No feeling and no tears
Just wasted so much
Wasted years
Your hands, so old
Your beauty so cold
I don't belong with you
Cause everyone is broken that you know
I need dreams to cling to
Cause everything shatters around you
You didn't need a friend
You just needed sympathy
You just need an ear to bend
Took all that I could give
So tired of giving now
I can't live the way you live
Empty, Resigned
Choking and blind
Your pleasure
Was my fate
But your kindness
Was too late
I don't belong with you
Cause everyone is broken that you know
I need dreams to cling to
Cause everything shatters around you
