| Come now, and listen babe
|
| I gotta reason why I behave
|
| Like a child with the light in his eyes
|
| Running naked on a cold winter night
|
| I’m like a pigeon that’s spreading its wings
|
| To fly away to better things
|
| Like a hammer that has made a dent
|
| In every little, single cent you’ve spent
|
| Said, oh God, you’ve got to help me, a little bit
|
| You’ve got, you’ve gotta have a relief file for me, yeah
|
| Now, I know I’m always right
|
| That’s a thought that never even crossed my mind
|
| Don’t touch me there, I gotta be pure
|
| So smack that hand, and read this verse
|
| So, I wrecked your life, what the heck?
|
| My new found faith will pay that check
|
| This life’s took a toll on my soul
|
| This life’s took a toll on my soul
|
| So, this is me, and that’s my song
|
| And I guess you can see we don’t get along
|
| I’ve shut the doors on what we had
|
| So, now, she can sleep with dear ol' dad
|
| My eyes are dry and my hands are clean
|
| And I can’t believe all the things I’ve seen
|
| Said, oh God, you’ve got to help me, a little bit
|
| You’ve got, you’ve gotta have a relief file for me, yeah
|
| I said, oh my God
|
| I, I
|
| Said, I’m gonna keep the dog |
