He's got his soul on sale
He's looking out the window wondering when the devil's gonna come his way
Hey hey, hey hey
Whoever ever said that you'd be great was a goddam liar
He used his brother's name out on the interstate
Found his father's shame in the same dark place
All the whiskey and the women and the wondering why
He wondered too far, now he's locked up in his mind
Hey, take it from me
Don't make it great, you'll only set yourself up for disappointment on your face
For all to see, for all to say;
You were a fool
For ever thinking you could break yourself out of this place
Now play it cool
Yeah play it cool
I heard you're over it
Done punching numbers for the almighty sum
I heard you're clocking out
Gone in the morning with the rising sun
So if you're leaving town
Well I was wondering if I could come
I was just wondering if I could come
He's got a soul for sale
He's talking to himself
Although he never can quite find the words to say
Hey hey, hey hey
Whoever said that you'd be fine was a goddamn coward
He missed his mother's faith
He traded fear for hate
And wondered how she'd ever loved a wretch like him
He saw the secret in their eyes beneath his old disguise
She looked so damn pure that he started to cry
Hey, take it from me
Didn't anybody tell you that the only way to win is not to play their stupid game?
Hey, you little fool
Didn't anybody tell you that you've got to be a rat to win the race
In this place?
I heard you're over it
Done punching numbers for the almighty sum
I heard you're clocking out
Gone in the morning with the rising sun
So if you're leaving town
Well I was wondering if I could come
I was just wondering if I could come
He's got his mind made up
You know, enough ain't enough
He's gonna drown in santa monica bay
He took a steady breath
And put the car in drive
He's gonna take a trip into the sunrise
I'm not afraid of d**h
I'm caught in webs that i've spun
And been wondering who i've become
Hey hey, hey hey
So i was wondering if i could come
I'm always 5 minutes late
I think i might be no one
And i've been wondering who i've become
Hey hey, hey hey
So i was wondering if I could come
Hey hey, hey hey
I was just wondering if I could come
