| I think I tried to wake up too fast
|
| From what must have been a two-year nap.
|
| Then I hit my head
|
| And it was back to bed for a while.
|
| I woke up 24 in Texas,
|
| Breaking a sweat to expand my nexus
|
| Then it occurred to me,
|
| Maybe I shouldn’t be
|
| Making excuses to cope so liberally.
|
| They say, «Some things just don’t wash out,»
|
| but I’ve been dying to know what getting clean is all about.
|
| And now, years have gone by,
|
| but it’s still stuck in my mind:
|
| Some things just don’t wash out.
|
| For too long now, I’ve sung the same sad song
|
| But I didn’t even write it, I was just singing along.
|
| But the problem with change is it’s hard
|
| Like finding lively conversation in graveyards.
|
| I hit the nail on the head,
|
| Drove it straight through my hand.
|
| I have martyred myself in a scheme not-so-grand.
|
| We’re deserving of men left to rot in a rag,
|
| Haven’t done shit with my life,
|
| My skin is starting to sag.
|
| You drink too much.
|
| Your mind’s unfit.
|
| You really can’t afford to live like this.
|
| You’re almost there, but still so far.
|
| Everyone.
|
| They say, «Some things just don’t wash out,»
|
| but I’ve been dying to know what getting clean is all about.
|
| And now, years have gone by,
|
| but it’s still stuck in my mind:
|
| Some things just don’t wash out.
|
| You’ve gotta dig (deep, deep, deep)
|
| You’ve got to dig (deep, deep, deep)
|
| You’ve gotta dig (deep, deep, deep)
|
| You’ve got to dig (deep, deep, deep)
|
| You’ve gotta dig (deep, deep, deep)
|
| You’ve got to dig (deep, deep, deep)
|
| You’ve gotta dig, you’ve gotta dig.
|
| They say, «Some things just don’t wash out,»
|
| but I’ve been dying to know what getting clean is all about.
|
| And now, years have gone by,
|
| but it’s still stuck in my mind:
|
| Some things just don’t wash out.
