Verse: 1
Well I heard they strung you out on a midnight line, I heard about it when you cracked
And I see you found yourself a new set of lies, where'd you go to hear a thing like that?
When you found that farewell note, your footsteps inching towards the door
In the fine print of the words she wrote, you can't find a pattern anymore
Bridge
And now daylight burns your eyes
And your girl's long gone for ever and ever
You wonder what it's like
Well it's hell 'round here but it's my kind of weather
And, oooh, to be free, it's owned by anything, anything
Boy, you don't see, what hurts worse than falling out is falling back in when she leaves me
Leaves
Strip a blackhole, take a joyride
Scratch the eightball, let it all ride
But don't shut the door before thinking twice
Verse: 2
Well I cut your corner catching you right on time, you know I like to hang around
But the party turns into a firing line every time I show my face in town
Now I can't get it all alone, your greed has shown me to the door
I offered you my bad advice, I offered but you wanted more
Bridge
Now the limelight burns your eyes
And the girl you loved is gone for ever and ever
You wonder what it's like
Well, it's hell 'round here, man, it don't get much better.
But, oh, to be free, it's owned by anything, anything
Boy, you don't see, what hurts worse than falling out is falling back in when she leaves me
Leaves
Outro
Dump the blackhole, take a joyride
Scratch the eightball, play it all night
But don't shut the door before thinking twice
