From time to time you’ll find that
Not all Earth folk are to be trusted
Then you’ll meet some more
Soon you’ll know what for
Then you’ll meet some more
Soon you’ll know what for
This time you win
Next time you’ll learn
On through your life
But don’t give out your time for free
For most I’ve found
Have not been worthy
Need I remind you’re not to be sold?
Need I remind you’re not to be sold?
This time you win
Next time you’ll learn
This time you win
Next time you’ll learn

Try and keep it to yourself
Try and keep it for yourself
Sometimes anyway
Sometimes anyway
Islands if only to me
I’ve been to some you can’t see
But I’m trying to keep it to myself
I’m trying but the words won’t stop
Sometimes anyway
Sometimes anyway
But you keep it tied to me
So how do you want me?
I’m in a jealous sea
I’m in a jealous sea
And you keep the tides for me
So how do you want me?
You keep it tight for me
So how do you want me?
I’m in a jealous sea
I’m in a jealous sea
I’m in a jealous sea
I’m into jealous sea
But I’m trying to keep it to myself
I’m trying to keep it to myself
I’m trying to keep it to myself
Trying but the words won’t stop...

Do you know what it’s like to be home in your own mind?
I don’t care
I’m gonna wing it
Now I’m afraid I’ve said the wrong thing
If I take it out on you my friend
Don’t hurt for I don’t know how to pretend
Take all you need my loving one
Take all you need
A friend in need’s a friend indeed
Take all you need
Now I’m afraid I’ve said the wrong thing
I’m not afraid
I’m gonna wing it
I can’t abuse this newfound confidence
But now I’m back and all is fine
There’s nothing that can’t be fixed with time
When all is done and all is good
I will have your hearts and you’ll have mine

Time passing right by through you
As you sit and watch the frames
Trailer folk listen to you
Still you laugh and call them names
Lone Stars and hoe downs for you?
I’m not sure about those grades
And time passes right by through you
As you sit and watch the frames

I can take them
I know the law
They know it too
But knowing isn’t everything
I can face them
I’ve known them all
They’ve known you too
But knowing isn’t everything
Things will work as you please
Things have worked as you please
Things don’t work as you please
Things won’t work as you please
Mrs, I’m damned
Take me there
Mrs, I’m damned
Take me there
Mrs, I’m damned
Take me
Mrs, I’m damned
Take me
I’m away now
Windows like letterholes
I’m away now
And I can’t see
I can’t see things just working as I please
Things ain’t working as I please
Things ain’t working as I please
Things ain’t working as I please…
