Talking: (One time only, [gulp] if you don't
3
get it right this time, tough shit, tough shit,
4
everybody ready, tell me when, say when your
5
rolling here, a one, a two, a one, two, three, die)
6
I press my face to the window
7
I ran my fingers through my hair
8
I watched my life go around in a circle
9
And I realized that no body but me cares
10
And I saw the hurt of my system
11
And I felt the madness of our faults conforming
12
And I walked around your house for hours
13
And I could feel that you had me in some kinda of stranglehold
14
And I don't know why you said those bad things about me
15
Well it must be the way of protecting some kind of crazy pride
16
Yeah you always direct your attention toward others
17
And look you know, it's so easy to see that my wounds have been open
18
wide
19
And you can just kid the kid inside so many times
20
You can just kid the kid till he grabs you by the throat
21
And is choking your young ass blind
22
And you just kid the kid till you're walking on the tightrope in my my
23
mind ??
24
Yeah, you can just kid the kid inside so many times
25
Well it wasn't funny, no, when I was bleeding all over the table
26
Yeah, now as I recall, hey it wasn't funny at all
27
But you kept on laughing, huh, like it was some kind of party, yea
28
Your always looking to belittle someone to make you feel tall
29
Yea well, it's the same reaction in every situation
30
Do you really think it's so necessary to be so mean
31
Yeah, and it's hard for me to justify my position
32
Yeah, when everything that I'm saying can be said bad about Mr.
33
Springsteen, yea
34
(chorus)
35
Yeah you know
36
Yeah, well I really really am the first to desire you ??
37
And I feel so badly for his misery ??
38
Well I'll don't throw five dollars, to get into the kitty ??
39
And I'll bet my ass that this problem isn't me
40
Now now don't get me wrong wrong
41
Hey now don't you feel sorry, yeah
42
'Cause there's no one dead or alive that I'd rather be
43
And I've learned to deal with my mortal existence
44
And the moral is, now don't you go believe nothing that you can't see,
45
yeah
46
(chorus)
47
Yeah, and you can just kid the kid inside so many times, yea
48
(Ha ha ha, we'll keep it)
