i been pushed around
and pushed down
lost my voice
made the wrong choice
found my song
lost my sound
found what i found
layin' on the ground

i been around and around
howlin' like a blue tick hound
been a man about town
a back door man
an old hand
a dandy Dan
took a drink
didn't think
started to sink
i didn't blink

forgot i had to pay the band
drunk 'till i couldn't stand
stool tall after my fall
answered that far off call
hit the wall
that was all
bounced like a rubber ball
bounced back
lost track
lost my way
had nuthin' ta' say
bought it on E-Bay

lost my git up & go
went with the flow
was a no-show
i didn't know
thought i knew
what to do
didn't have a clue
voo-doo
hindu
me & you

went straight
too late
stood at heaven's gate
couldn't wait
they wouldn't let me in
too much sin
had to begin agin'
and agin'
and agin'
what then?

i been hung out to dry
wouldn't, couldn't die
had to lie
learned to cry
had to try & try
after the last "Good-Bye"
don't ask me why?
got high
got low
got layed
began to fade
into blue
over you
started to go
but NO!

i been where i was
did it because
i missed the applause
heard the laughter
of the everafter
after all
i took the fall
heard the call
been pushed down & pushed around
layin' on the ground
i found
the sky
don't ask me how or why
i learned to live, forgot to die
after the last "Good-Bye"
