You are the earth, the wind, the vessel You are the road that lasts I am the the crook, the thief, the ha**le I am the floor that cracks Fix me up and I will last You are the rock, the roll, the future You are the soul that fuels I am the crook, the night, the moocher Mainly 'Cause I refuse To let them use me as they choose I need you to stay with me but I think that you'll run away What can I give you to stay? I am the song, the words, the struggle I keep you on your toes I promise to always keep trying To drive the crazies out and let them go You are the reason I keep going You keep the will in me strong You are the one who keeps showing up Even though my troubles party all night long I need you to stay with me but I think that you'll run away What can I give you to stay? You think you should stay with me but I think that you'll run away What can I give you to stay?
