I watch myself on TV, I'm a faker, a paper clown |
|
It's clear to all my friends that I habitually lie, |
|
I just bring them down |
|
I claim proneness to exaggeration |
|
But the truth lies in my frustration |
|
The children of the night all pass me by |
|
Have to dress myself up in brandy in sleep I hide, |
|
But I don't care how much I booze , |
|
There ain't no way out |
|
There ain't no way out |
|
I don't care what you say boy |
|
There ain't no way out |
|
I lose so many nights of sleep, worrying about my responsibility |
|
All the problems that screw me up, down to him or me? |
|
My ego will just confuse me, one day it's going to up and use me |
|
Dish me out another tailor-made compliment |
|
Tell me about some destiny I can't prevent |
|
How ever much I squirm |
|
There ain't no way out |
|
There ain't no way out |
|
I don't care what you say boy |
|
There ain't no way out |
|
There ain't no way out . |
|
And the night comes down like a cell door closing |
|
Suddenly I realize that I'm writing now more honestly |
|
While all alone with a bottle and my head up floating |
|
Far away from the phone and the conscience going on at me and on at me |
|
And I don't care what you say |
|
There ain't no way out, no way out, there ain't no way out. |
|
Just drive me. |
|
There ain't no way out....(etc) |
|
I walk into a club, and know one seems to know me |
|
I have to tell the story of my life, to keep from being thrown out there and then |
|
It all seems so futile can I live with some shy stud who disowned me |
|
Can't face the fact that once you open up for real you become ambivalent |
|
They both let you in , there ain't no way out |
|
There ain't no way out |
|
I don't care what you say boy, there ain't no way out |
|
Take it from me. |
|
Now the walls are all clawed and scratched, like by some soul insane |
|
In the morning I hung-overly detach myself, I'll take no blame |
|
I just can't face my failure, I'm nothing but a well-fucked sailor |
|
You at home can easily decide what's right |
|
By glancing over so briefly at what I write |
|
But it don't help me that you know, there ain't no way out |
|
No way out |
|
No way out |
|
I don't care what you say, there ain't no way out |
|
There ain't no way out, etc.... |
