lyrics

I’m trying so hard to be somewhat good but things ain’t going my way
I lost a job that I never had even though I was close to a raise
so now I’m back on the streets begging for treats
I suppose doing what I love
writing down words on the backs of my hands
they're my fighting gloves

If I’m you and you’re me who’s got the strings above?
I don’t believe there’s anyone
but maybe it’s me and I got an angel undone

I sold my soul in East St. Paul kissed her good bye
it was weighing me down most of the time
when all I wanted to do was fly
so I searched high and low for an old spare part
walked into a junk yard and they said
“ain’t nothin here that’ll fit your year but don’t take the news so hard”

If I’m you and you’re me who’s got the strings above?
I don’t believe there’s anyone
but maybe it’s me and I got an angel undone

I blame it all blame it all on that day
when I felt the power move within me
and then I felt it slip away
I said I’d join a rock n roll band
and they said the devil’d gotten inside my head
so they put me in a room
and threw the key away

Loosin' your thoughts can be an inside job
stolen by someone you love
getting them back ain’t an easy task
with no help from above
cause above is below and below is inside
and inside is where the wild things run
even though I was pure as the driven snow
you know I was left holding the gun

If I’m you and you’re me who’s got the strings above?
I don’t believe there’s anyone
but maybe it’s me and I got an angel undone

So here I am a strung out man but my dreams are still intact
now I know how the good lord rolls upon His golden railroad tracks
that’ll take you there if that’s what you believe
but in the end you’re going to loose your wheels
it’s a damn illusion my friend
you know the ditch is where’s it’s real

If I’m you and you’re me who’s got the strings above?
I don’t believe there’s anyone
but maybe it’s me and I got an angel undone
