Earthling - Coburn lyrics

I should'a know back then When I said Why, what, who, where, when I should'a know back then, but then again I should'a know back then When I said Why, what, who, where, when I should'a know back then, but then again Knife in my hand and a girl, named Maria Kneeling by my side Staring at me with exaltation in her eyes Speakind to me in spanglish I don't know who I am but I understand the language She says, you've been dreaming since the 7th century baby I should'a know back then When I said why, what, who, where, when I should'a know back then That i'd wind up on my knee's like a bull in a pen I should'a know back then When I said why, what, who, where, when I should'a know back then, but then again I got a locust in my throat Right now she's sleeping Yesterday she got intoxicated on my speaking I tried to tell her not to drink all my saliva I tried to tell not to leave me behind I said can't you see you're leaving me sore I swear I heard her laugh as she drunk some more I should'a know back then When i said why, what, who, where, when I should'a know back then I should'a know back then, but then again I should'a know back then When I said why, what, who, where, when I should'a know back then That i'd wind up on my knee's like a bull in a pen Maria's crying as she takes my knife She says sometimes I wanna k** myself But I'm scared that I might die Sometimes I fly through liquid sky Faking it all the way to heaven When I get there I'll tell them that I tried I tried to save men Mau But they didn't want what I gave them mau I tried to save men But they didn't want what I gave them I should'a know back then When I said why, what, who, where, when I should'a know back then That i'd wind up on my knee's like a bull in a pen I should'a know back then Why, what, who, where, when I should'a know, know, know I should'a know, I should'a know I should'a know... Why, what, who, where, when I should'a know back then That i'd wind up on my knee She says Hold on One last thing
