OH...SANITY...HUMANITY DID YOU TAKE A STEP BACKWARD WERE YOU MISSING IN ACTION...TEMPORARILY... OH...SANITY...HUMANITY WON'T YOU TAKE A STEP FORWARD COME BACK FOR YOUR CROWN AND STOP ALL THIS THAT'S GOIN' DOWN... I REMEMBER NOT TOO LONG AGO I COULD WALK THE STREETS UNAFRAID NO MATTER WHERE I'D GO NOWADAYS IT SEEMS, THE WAY IT ALL STANDS, IS IF I'M WALKIN' I'M TAKIN' MY LIFE IN MY HANDS... I REMEMBER WHEN OLD PEOPLE WERE COOL NEVER HIT UPON, MOCKED, MAIMED OR RIDICULED THERE'S YOUNG FOLKS TERRIFIED NOW, ALL THE TIME... TOO MANY CRYIN'...THERE'S TOO MANY DYIN'.... SANITY...HUMANITY... DID YOU TAKE A VACATION WERE YOU MISSING IN ACTION...TEMPORARILY... OH...SANITY...HUMANITY WON'T YOU TAKE A STEP FORWARD COME BACK FOR YOUR CROWN STOP ALL THIS THAT'S GOIN' DOWN... HATE YOUR NEIGHBOURS AND CHEAT YOUR FREINDS THERE'S NO REGARD FOR THE WAY IT ENDS LIFE IS SO PRECIOUS YET IT'S BARTERED SO CHEAP IS THERE ANY DIGNITY AT ALL TO KEEP... NOT TOO LONG… |

FAST...SOMETIMES GOOD ONES DO...
"LETTERS FOR FREE" HE WAS CENTURY BOUND WITH A TROUPE OF RENOWN THROUGH A SKY THAT WAS BLUER THAN SEA... AND WHEN QUESTIONED ABROAD, HE WOULD QUIP WITH A NOD... "SIR, I MARKET MY LETTERS FOR FREE... YES, I MARKET MY LETTERS FOR FREE..." THERE WERE SHIPS WITHOUT SAILS, THERE WERE SILVERY RAILS THERE WERE HOPES THAT WERE NEVER TO BE... BUT AS DARK AS THE RAIN, HE'D REPEAT THE REFRAIN... "SIR, I MARKET MY LETTERS FOR FREE... YES, I MARKET MY LETTERS FOR FREE..." (Bridge} IF THE MOOD WOULD BE RIGHT HE COULD CONQUER THE NIGHT AND THE KINGS COULD BE BROUGHT TO THEIR KNEES...

I KNEW SOMEDAY THE MUSIC MIGHT GET EVIL
I KNEW SOMEDAY I'D BE A HELPLESS PAWN I KNEW SOMETIME THAT I'D BE JUDGED WITH SINNERS CAN'T GO ON...CAN'T GO ON... I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO KILL A MEMORY I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO STAY ALONE I DON'T EXPECT A LOT OF FOLKS TO LIKE ME DON'T MATTER NOW, THEY DON'T MATTER NOW I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO SHARE YOUR SPIRIT I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO TRY AND TRY I KNOW HOW CRUEL IT IS WHEN THINGS GET SHAKY AND YOU CRY, AND YOU CRY... HARD UP, HARD UP FOR AMUSEMENT WHEN YOU TURNED, YOU TURNED TO THE DARKER SIDE, YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO UNDERSTAND THE THINGS THAT DRIVE YOU AND THOSE QUESTIONS AND THOSE QUESTIONS THEY CAN TEAR YOU DOWN... I KNOW HOW ENVY DOES THE STRANGEST DANCES I KNOW HOW EASY COMES THIS THING CALLED PITY I KNOW HOW YOU CAN RUN CITY TO CITY LOOKIN' FOR PITY............ BRIDESMAIDS... THE ONLY SOLUTION... ISN'T IT… |
