Words in my mouth
Someone told me to say
They go unspoken
My mind gets in the way

I hold my tongue
Save my, save my soul
True to myself
And stay gold

Sometimes you gotta pull the plug
Somewhere a little place to crawl
Love me for who I am
It doesn't have to be this hard
For an ordinary man

I wanna take cover, take cover
From you, wake me when it's over
Take cover, I wanna take cover
From you

Sold all my dreams
Watched them all disappear
I've spilled my blood
No one seems to care

'Cause sometimes you gotta pull the plug
Somewhere a little place to crawl
Love me for who I am
How low do I have to go to make you
Understand?

I wanna take cover, take cover
From you, wake me when it's over
Take cover, I wanna take cover
From you

I wanna take cover, take cover
From you, wake me when it's over
Take cover, I wanna take cover
From you

Cover, take cover
Nothing I can do to keep from going on
But take cover, take cover
From you

Save my soul, save my soul
