And I can't go on
this situation unbearable
and with one quick stroke of the wand
I choke my judgment is terrible
not even bringing the life
to every bright light
could keep me up
all through the night
I was to fast to act
I fell short on tact
I knew I'd never win my fights

This heavy breathing
I clench my fists
can you read the fine print
quit speaking in tongues
you son of a gun
you know I'm your number one

It makes no difference
Its time to go home
they want to hold us down
but the show must go on

and now that I've got you on the spot
and I'm too far gone in this game to let go
I know I got you bothered and hot

what I'm about to tell you
is straight from my heart
I'm at square one
so don't even start
I'll take the stage on the world's behalf
my words will tear you apart

bloody knuckles and noses
won't keep you from keeping
your hands to yourself
as I lay dreaming
Take what's left, it's all I have
This life my be the death of me
