There's no way out of an angrycrowd without steppin' on some toesThey'll scream your name 'til the lights go outthen they'll feed you to the wolvesIt's hard to say who you'll bewhen they let those big red curtains closeYou know this 'cause you told me soI bet you forgotBlack heels in the summertimeDad's bad, cookin' though, you'd be politeHoney, now you got a look that I don't recognizeYou pulled me aside and you saidTo know me is to hate meIs to hate what I've becomeIt's to watch me as I'm fallin'From that laddеr's last rungIt's to feel it like a secretYou can't keep in, I'm not thе way I wasI'm not the way I wasMm, mm-mm-mm, hmm-mm, mmWere you freed within, did you leave your skin?Are you tethered in your doubt?Have you breathed it in 'til it's medicinethat you cannot live without?'Cause you came back homea fuckin' alien and we're stuck here on the groundCall your mom back, kid, before the high comes down'Cause you forgotBlack heels in the summertimeDirt road smoking on a Friday nightHoney, now you got a look that I don't recognizeYou pulled me aside and you saidTo know me is to hate meIs to hate what I've becomeIt's to watch me as I'm fallin'From that ladder's last rungIt's to feel it like a secretYou can't keep in, I'm not the way I wasI'm not the way I wasBut to feel it, to see itThe look in all their eyesIs to breathe in, to be inThe good grace of that GodlightIt's to have it in your handsThe one thing you wanted all your life"It's all mine"It's a hole I can't fill, it's a curse I can't breakAnd I gave my soul to it, and I cannot be reclaimedI was younger then, I was younger thenI was youngTo know me is to hate meIs to hate what I've becomeIt's to watch me as I'm fallin'From that ladder's last rungIt's to feel it like a secretYou can't keep in, I'm not the way I wasI'm not the way I wasBut to feel it, to see itThe look in all their eyesIs to breathe in, to be inThe good grace of that GodlightIt's to have it in your handsThe one thing you wanted all your life"It's all mine"And to feel it, to see itThe look in all your eyesIs to breathe in, to be inThe good grace of this GodlightIt's to have it in your handsThe one thing I wanted all my lifeIt's all mine
