| Abandoned by, abandoned by, abandoned by your Mother
|
| Stranded in a boys' home, stranded in a boys' home and never really recovered
|
| Drain that poison from your mind
|
| Or it’s gonna take you down
|
| Stretch
|
| Stretch, fish outta water, yah swim against the tide
|
| Ain’t no takin' sense to ya
|
| Jekyll and Jekyll and Jekyll and Hide
|
| Oblivious to, oblivious to, oblivious to the danger
|
| I tried, but I could never, I tried but I could never, I tried, but I could
|
| never change ya
|
| You went your way, I went mine, there was nothing I could do
|
| You wouldn’t listen, no you wouldn’t listen to me
|
| Stretch
|
| Stretch, always something' eatin' at ya, never towed the line
|
| Mixed up and dangerous, most of the, most of the, most of the time
|
| I can still see you walkin' down the street
|
| I can still see the placed we’d meet
|
| I can hear the voices in my head
|
| One of them yours, even though you’re dead
|
| Attracted by, attracted by, attracted to the lifestyle
|
| I could never go the, I could never go the, I could never go the last mile
|
| The pirate with the silver tongue among my souvenirs
|
| You wouldn’t listen, ah you wouldn’t listen to me
|
| Stretch
|
| Pride of the army, hero of the corps
|
| You hated every minute of it, they gave you two years, you made it four
|
| I gotta stop hangin' out with ya, perhaps it’s just as well
|
| Now we’re both doing stretches, I’m in a limo and you’re in a cell
|
| I loved you like a brother, deep down sad
|
| You were the best friend, I ever, I ever, I ever had |
