Whenever your eyes are on me, I withdraw
Whenever I'm by myself, I'm nothing at all
I've got too many empty loves to heal
Too many cells for drugs to kill
I'll never make you proud or answer your calls
People pretend every day, they're in the mood
Why do I always have to be so removed?
How many lies have I been sold?
You can put on a smile and a tie and grow old
I could be crazy, abrasive, or just a plain fool
So put me in the corner
Tell it to my face
I've got years till I get over
Being a disgrace
In the morning, I mean business
But before the night is dead
"I wish I could resist it"
Sings a choir in my head
Good omens come
And I'll believe again
I told my mind, body and soul
Not to give in
When good omens come
Then I can breathe again
And tell my mind, body and soul
Not to give in
Come on and take a toke now, stay for a while
Tell me another joke and maybe I'll smile
I've been runnin' around and away from my friends
Caught in a hole where I can't make amends
Causing a scene but at least it feels good to be high
Put me in the corner
Tell it to my face
I've got years till I get over
Being a disgrace
In the morning, I mean business
But before the night is dead
"I wish I could resist it"
Sings a choir in my head
Good omens come
And I'll believe again
I told my mind, body and soul
Not to give in
When good omens come
Then I can breathe again
And tell my mind, body and soul
Not to give in
I told my mind
Body and soul
I told my mind, body and soul
Not to give in...
