Hold on tight to your old man Under my wing long as I can There was a time when I thought I knew love Until you came into this world Time keeps on flying

In the wastelands of today When there's nothing left to lose And and there's nothing more to take But you force yourself to choose And your hope turns into fear When tomorrow disappears When the future slips away This is war with no weapons Marchin with

I got money that I saved then I'm back on road Get my jewelry out the safe 'cause I'm back on road I still do these hoes the same when I'm back on road If you wasn't there for me when I was all alone Then bitch don't expect no love when I'm back I'm just

Thought I'd been touched Thought I'd been kissed Thought I'd been loved But it was nothing, nothing like this There's nothing in my life I'd say I regret But there's something in your eyes that makes me forget The times that I believed that love was good

Are you happy now? Somewhere in the crowd In a foreign place There's nothing left to say So I shut my mouth So won't you tell me, babe You're a world away You're the only one who can The wash in the weight of your pockets, so deep

There ain't nothing like the real thing baby Ain't nothing like the real thing There ain't nothing I'm talking genuine Made in the USA And you can't go back once you get a taste It was in a crystal bottle on his desk He'd save it for the times to not

I'm drowning in the pain Breaking down again Looking for a lifeline I've been looking for a lifeline For what seems like a lifetime Is there anybody out there? Can you pull me from this ocean of despair? When I was a boy I didn't care 'bout a thing

Can I be the girl that you met Do you, do you Do you have a dollar? Do you have a dollar for me? In the coin laundry? There I was sitting on the top of the world In a coin laundry Well I could have been royalty Sitting in the palace like a queen

Love don't live here anymore You abandoned me Just a vacancy When you lived inside of me There was nothing I could conceive That you wouldn't do for me Trouble seemed so far away You changed that right away, baby Just emptiness and memories

And what you've seen isn't there anymore Just like it has before Now we can say that nothing's lost and only change brings round the prophecy Where now it's melting, the solid frost was once a veil on greener landscapes we would see Beneath my surface
