Once I Believed
Don't you take me down the back roads
I wanna see the sun
I was thinkin' 'bout pleasure
When we begun
I kept thinkin'
CHORUS:
All along
Where did we go wrong?
No, no more
Negative energy
VERSE 2:
Life changes in a heartbeat
Emotions made of crystal and glass
Life turns us from Jekyll to Hyde
We don't mean to be cruel and crass
CHORUS
Be good to me
I kept thinkin'
CHORUS
Energy
Be good to me...
BREAK:
I don't want money
I don't want a car
I wanna know where you're hiding
I wann
Nice To Be Out
He asked me 'So where have you been?'
Let me think now let me see
I was stood once where Hitler's feet stood
When he made a speech in Nuremburg in '38
When he tried to build the perfect race he said
'Black men ain't gonna run along side our perfect sons'
There's Dallas to the library
The place they ended Kennedy
I stood were Oswald took his shot
In my opinion there's a bigger plot
Cost less back into the left, the picket fence, the better bet
Paris came and summer went
The tunnels now a flower bed.
The famous turf that made Geoff Hurst
The vodka stops to quench my thirst
The Golden Gate stroke Alcatrez
The fat man failed to get us passed
Is Jimmy's corner in 'Raging Bull'
De Niro's jokes and bottle pills
Elvis tales from Mr Wood.
Would any Richard Burton if you could
The tourists stare at tourist stops
One more picture one more got
Another a top up for a change
it makes you think, I makes you sane
Talking more about yourself
There's a mirror to have a check
Checks are always passing through
Some depart but a lot come too
The restaurant talk of pick your teeth
Bite your tongue oh chewy meat'
Sleep or drink or drink to sleep
One more week and we will meet
We talk of what we haven't done
Since we departed back a month
We argue while we have to shout
All in all it's nice to be out
