Busted and broke And I'm too old to toke I'd pay somebody money If they told me a joke
Don't let my dreams Go up in smoke Don't want to stare At the man who wears a cloak
'Cause I'm on the inside Watching as the world goes by And I'm trying to make it If you'd only let me try
Every time I'm standing You make me fall Every time I'm running You make me crawl Every time you push me You make me stall You know you've got to stop Knocking my heart against the wall
I always gotta stare Right in your eyes Lookin' for the truth But you keep on telling me lies
It's too late to get crazy Too late for alibis You look me through the reasons Until I got wise
I never leave you Just keep coming back for more Why must you keep me With my feet dragging on the floor
Every time I'm standing You make me fall Every time I'm running You make me crawl Every time you push me You make me stall You know you've got to stop Knocking my heart against the wall
I don't remember Where we went wrong Somebody tell me And say we still belong
Every time I'm standing You make me fall Every time I'm running You make me crawl Every time you push me You make me stall You know you've got to stop Knocking my heart against the wall
