Not the one to live or die alone Or keep a chain around the telephone If there's a fortune at my fingers it'll be a crime Struck down on the dirty floor Ten locks on the cellar door I haven't slept for weeks and I'm doing fine
In a better world I'd save the children overseas In another life I'd play a meaner brand of god Such good intentions never standing in the fore And I swear it's me never letting go
You can't fail if you've never tried Crouched down from the view outside So tired of the endless days Payback for my selfish ways Feels like I've lost before I even start
