I'm taken back, oh I'm taken back to the dry grass and the shadows There are things that I've seen in my head while I'm sleeping in bed They do not wither in the morning light I'd be pulling spines and barbs and fox tails from your skin Thinking I'd like

You and me got a whole lot of history We could be the greatest thing that the world has ever seen So don't let it go, we can make some more, we can live forever Thought we were going strong Thought we were holding on This is not the end So don't let me

I'll keep the life that I've got Hey, I'm not Synthetica, oh I'll keep the life that I've got, oh Some of us are wild ones, ever under wanted, Lining up in the background, Waiting for the crap shot to be seen In the shadow of the big screen, Everybody

I've seen through the shading And down to what's within Reaching you will feel me Lost and alone You said I was what you were looking for So why do I feel so empty And it seemed so real Pulled from my grasp taken away Am I nothing in your eyes

Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I've seen the sunrise See the love in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love You know I like my chicken fried Well I was raised up

I hear the train a comin' It's rollin' 'round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine Since, I don't know when I'm stuck in Folsom Prison And time keeps draggin' on But that train keeps a-rollin' On down to San Antone When I was just a baby

That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball! Never seen him fall Ever since I was a young boy I've played the silver ball From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all But I ain't seen nothing like him In any amusement hall

I believe, I believe With every breath that I breathe All I know is what I've been sold You can read my life like a fortune told I've seen the dream, there's no land of Oz But I got my brain and I got a heart And courage built I won't let go What we need

Night! So I play. Give me a sign this is day. It's time to die. Is that what I want? Give me some patience, so I pray. Give me some guidance, so I pray. Take me away. Taken away. So you've seen I've gotten this far. Please give me some place to worry.

And I've never seen a more beautiful thing Am I just dreaming? Let's take it too far And should we begin before it's too late? Say that you'll take a cigarette break But I saw a spark Just a cigarette break, leave the ashes on the fire escape To burn
