I know where you're going
And I see where you been
Patience is a virtue
And mine with you is wearing thin
It's easy to sit and wait
Speak with words you've stolen
From better men than you
Doors they helped you open
In time will cease to let you through
Is it easy to stand and sigh?
Bid another friend goodbye?
Oh oh ooooh
Oh oh ooooh
Oh oh ooooh
Oh oh ooooh
Lights can shine too bright, dear
So nobody can see
Hide safe behind your light, dear
But understand it won't blind me
And I know it would do no good
I'd hurt you if I could
Oh oh ooooh (See my eyes)
Oh oh ooooh (Open wide)
Oh oh ooooh (Speak up now)
Oh oh ooooh (Hold your peace forever and be done)
Eyes down, door closed, keep quiet, growing old
I know you, I see you cling to the road you ride on
Homeless, more or less, skin and bone, on your own
I'll be alright, I'm doing fine, keep my tongue behind
my teeth and get gone, you never were anyone
Keep your words, keep your mind, I'll keep my tongue behind
my teeth, tongue behind my teeth
And I know it would do no good
But I'd hurt you if I could
Oh oh ooooh
