Oh things ain't what they used to be, no no Whoa, ah, mercy mercy me Where did all the blue skies go? Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east Whoa mercy, mercy me, Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas, fish full of mercury

This some shit I hate to share Escape this life or pay the fare Grab this gun and aim it there Shoot my pain and slay my fear Before I die, I say my prayer Don't worry about the mess just lay me there This is all I got so lay me bare One more time I'll

Do do do do I'm never what I like I'm double-sided And I just can't hide I kinda like it When I make you cry I'm semi-automatic, My prayers schizophrenic 'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside

I did the best I could Flying high in the friendly sky So stupid minded Nobody understood Without leaving the ground Rest of the folks are tired and weary And have laid their bodies down I go to the place where danger waits And its bound to forsake me

Hotter than hell And I'll give it to you 'Cause we're hot like hell Does it burn when I'm not there? When you're by yourself Am I the answer to your prayers I'm giving you the pleasure of heaven Can you feel the warmth, yeah 'Cause my kiss goes down you

Can wait a long time for an answer Gets tossed all around and then lost in the world Something as hard as a prayer on your back Something as simple as boys and girls All you kids get out the back door I've never seen her this bad before She took all her

The grass was greener The light was brighter The nights of wonder Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had

So lonely, so lonely When I came up, I was famous And I stayed up Now I'm way up People they just Turn to hater Been alone ever since I started

I don't wanna lose you (don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna lose you) Our love (this love of ours, yeah, yeah, yeah) Ooh, so I'm gon' give you respect and I want to protect Oh, ooh, ooh I don't wanna hear no trouble talk People telling me what they

And everything is you You are everything Oh, you are everything 'Cause you are everything Today I saw somebody Who looked just like you He walked like you do I thought it was you As he turned the corner
