If i stay awake forever the night will never come
If jesus has a father then nothing's ever wrong
So why am i alone in the middle of this crowd
Why am i so sorry for things I thought aloud
Momma said the words would come
And now the clock is running out
I know everybody wants a good life
I know I'm so happy in the spotlight
Do you know what I mean?
So ""come on give me shelter"" the old men used to sing
Well if I had a dollar for every fucking thing
Buried in my heart, buried like a king
Shelter from my instincts
The freedom of release
Momma said the words would come
But then the novocaine wore off
I know everybody wants a good life
I know I'm so happy in the spotlight
Do you know what I mean?
I know I go looking for a good fight
And I know everybody needs a good night.
Do you know what I mean?
So black on black. black on white.
White on brown. white on red. white on black
Days on end. the end of days.
Salad days. picture perfect days
I step inside up the steps down the hall
Through your door into your bed
Where were you this morning?
The sheets were soaking wet
Momma said the words would come
But now the clock is running out
I know everybody wants a good life
I know I'm so happy in the spotlight
I know I go looking for a good fight.
I know everybody needs a good night
Do you know what I mean?
I know everybody... everybody.
