I've been peelin' the same scab since I was three,
Just so I could watch myself bleed,
Just to keep that old part of me,
Just to keep some goddamn humility!
I've been walkin' the same tracks all of my doggone days,
Hoping it'll lead me astray,
Saying to myself "Come what might, come what may -
I've got to, I need to get out of this place!"
Alackaday! Just like a day dream you come to fade away.
It doesn't seem to faze me on my better days.
Alackaday! Just like a day dream.
I've been healin' the same heart, ever since it got broke,
And to them it's just some foolish joke.
"Hand me the bottle"
"No, man - hand that broken heart a stethoscope."
"Throw me a line."
"Make a noose with that rope."
I've been havin' these strange dreams, where I'm somebody else.
And honestly, I think it helps,
To escape from all my personal hells,
But I'll always come back if you're still here to tell.
