When I was a kid, I was really young I fell in love and I got stung I tried it out and I tried it on When I was a kid, I was really young
When I was a kid everything was new I had a lot of friends, I couldn't even get close to And I tried so hard that I got confused When I was a kid, everything was new
When I was a kid, I was on my own I had a mother and a father, till I was almost grown But when I was alone, I was all alone When I was a kid, I was on my own
When I was a kid, I got off the track I walked down the road and I never did turn back God deliver me from this case in fact When I was a kid, I got off the track
If you look out your window as the sun's going down I'll be there by the side of the road And I'll ride you away from this dirty old town And never again leave you alone
For you were the bird that I held in my hand Till I learned to fly on my own You're a garden in this God forsaken land And the only true love I have known
The morning was freezing the sky was still dark When I last laid eyes upon you Oh, I know the ache you have held in your heart For darling, I have felt it too
For you were the bird that I held in my hand Till I learned to fly on my own You're a garden in this God forsaken land And the only true love I have known
We come from a blue planet light-years away Where everything multiplies at an amazing rate We're out here in the universe buying real estate Hope we haven't gotten here too late: We're humans from earth We're humans from earth You have nothing at all to fear I think we're gonna like it here We're looking for a planet with atmosphere Where the air is fresh and the water clear With lots of sun like you have here Three or four hundred days a year Bought Manhatten for a string of beads Brought along some gadgets for you to see Heres a crazy little thing we call TV Do you have electricity? I know we may seem pretty strange to you But we got know-how and a golden rule We're here to see manifest destiny through Ain't nothing we can't get used to We're humans from earth
Primitives dress in feathers and masks To scare away their enemies The frightening thing is not dying The frightening thing is not living Scientists guess which is worse we will ask The medicine or the disease The frightening thing is not dying The frightening thing is not living
There's an old man living on the edge of town, edge of town With a skull in his window and the shades pulled down, shades pulled down And he laughs at fortune and he laughs at fame, he laughs at fame And he laughs at scandal and he laughs at shame, he laughs at shame
Primitives dress in feathers and masks To scare away their enemies The frightening thing is not dying The frightening thing is not living Scientists guess which is worse we will ask The medicine or the disease The frightening thing is not dying The frightening thing is not living
There's a young girl living on the edge of town, edge of town With a light in her window and her hair falls down, hair falls down And she loves me crazy and she loves me wild, loves me wild And she loves me tender like a lonely child, lonely child
Primitives dress in feathers and masks To scare away their enemies The frightening thing is not dying The frightening thing is not living
For every little thing I did to hurt you For every little way I made you cry There's another line etched in my face Another trace of sorrow in my eyes
For every careless word you spoke against me For every time I staggered through your lies There's another tear stain in your face Another trace of anger in your eyes
Measuring the angle of the pain Taking all the pleasure that remains Shadows that follow you Into this solitude
For every little thing I did to hurt you For every little way I made you cry There's another line etched in my face Another trace of anger in my eyes
Swallowing the bitter and the vain Seeing madness following in train Shadows that threaten when Dancing like skeletons
For every careless word you spoke against me For every time I staggered through your lies There's another tear stain in your face Another trace of anger in your eyes Another trace of anger in your eyes Another trace of anger in your eyes
I have a suggestion in answer to the question How can we make the world easier to bear We could go on a mission to get all politicians And preachers off of the air
Cause when you're talking to that many people At one time You're bound to be lying to someone At some time
So let's band together And cause a collision And throw all of these liars Off television
I can explain everything I can explain everything I can explain everything I can explain everything
I don't want to free you, or to please you or need you I only wanna to know you, watch you grow and hold you No moment is too short, no obstacle too tall I pledge to you my love, forever isn't any time at all Isn't any time at all
I don't want to save you, rescue or enslave you I only want to hear you, consider and be near you No sorrow is too big, no feelin' is too small I pledge to you my love, forever isn't any time at all Isn't any time at all
I don't want to hurt you, abandon or desert you I only want to love you, be true to and think of you We walk the razor's edge, our backs against the wall I pledge to you my love, forever isn't any time at all Isn't any time at all Isn't any time at all Isn't any time at all
I have a suggestion in answer to the question How can we make the world easier to bear We could go on a mission to get all politicians And preachers off of the air
Cause when you're talking to that many people At one time You're bound to be lying to someone At some time
So let's band together And cause a collision And throw all of these liars Off television
I can explain everything I can explain everything I can explain everything I can explain everything
I been waiting for a long, long time I been waiting for a long, long time I been waiting for a long, long time I been waiting for the long time now
I been waiting for a long, long time I been waiting for a long, long time I been waiting for a long, long time I been waiting for the long time now
I can hear the footsteps following behind me Trying to find me but when I turn around I can't see where the path goes Into the shadows, into the shadows
I been waiting for a long, long time I been waiting for a long, long time I been waiting for a long, long time I been waiting for the long time now
I can hear you breathing Whispering in my ear, "There is nothing to fear" But when I turn around As I see the trees bow, I only hear the wind blow
By mistake I felt alone, in my heart I've always known You'd be there to bring me home
I been waiting for a long, long time I been waiting for a long, long time I been waiting for a long, long time I been waiting for the long time now I been waiting for the long time now I been waiting for the long time now
