WELCOME TO MY WORLD, IT'S A BIT OF A MESS, SO DON'T YOU MIND
WELL IT'S WORSE THAN THAT, BUT AT LEAST YOU KNOW, I KEEP ON
TRYING - TWO STEPS FORWARD & TWENTY BACK, WHY I DON'T END
IT, JUST DON'T ASK - IT TAKES MORE TO LIVE, THAN CRY OR DIE
THAT'S LIFE I GUESS, OR MAYBE MINE - DO YOU GOT THE TIME?

I HAD A GIRL or TWO, CHATAEU & YACHT, ANYTHING THAT, MONEY BOUGHT
THERE WERE SHARKS FINS IN, MY SWIMMING POOL, UNDER MY BED & OVER
MY ROOF - FOR A BUCK OR TWO THEY'LL, CALL YOUR BLUFF, THEN TAKE
YOU DOWN, ONCE THEY LIFT YOU UP - I FELT LIKE A RAT, IN A TWISTED
PLAN - IT'S SO HARD TO LIVE, LIKE AN HONEST MAN - PLEASE UNDERSTAND

chorus...
BUT I TRY, TO GET IT, RIGHT, EVERY TIME
JUST GET ON BOARD, TO WHERE IT GOES & YOU'LL FIND
ANOTHER HUSTLE, ANOTHER HIGH, ANOTHER LIFE, DON'T
YOU CRY OUT - NO NO, NO NO, NO-OH... (4x) NO NO, NO

I FELT SO LOST, WAY INSIDE, LIKE AN EMPTY SHELL, THERE'S MORE TO LIFE
I LEFT IT ALL, TO GO TO THE WOODS, TILL SOME BIG ASS BEAR, THOUGHT I
WAS HIS FOOD - I RAN TO THE HILLS, TILL THE SNOWS CAME DOWN BUT THE
RAIN IT BURNED, THE WOODS TO THE GROUND - I REALIZED, I JUST CAN'T
HIDE, TO BE A SAINT, YOU GOT TO LOSE YOUR PRIDE - & HONEY LET ME SAY
THAT'LL, TAKE SOME TIME, I JUST WANT TO LIVE, A BETTER LIFE, INSIDE

(chorus - solo)

relief...
BUT I TRY, TO GET IT RIGHT - GET ON BOARD & YOU'LL FIND
IT'S A MYSTERY, TILL YOU BUY - HEARD THIS SONG & CHANGED MY LIFE
SO I BECAME A PREACHER, AFTER BEING A WHORE - THE PAY IS BETTER &
THE FANS ADORE - THE WOMEN ARE YOUNGER & THE FLESH SO FIRM - HEY
SOONER OR LATER, WE ALL MUST BURN - SAY, NO NO, NO NO, NO-OH...
