She's leaning on my window sill I'm praying that soon she will Come on back inside to me She said she gave me all she could Loved me better than she should Now I find it hard to leave Well I know it's hard Is it so complicated? I'm running now Yes, I'm running now Ooh, so don't you try to save me It's been this way most every night 'Cause Lord knows how we love to fight She says I'll never understand Begging me to let her go If you never lose, will you ever know How to be a better man? She says it's hard Is it so complicated? I'm running now Yes, I'm running now Ooh, so don't you try to save me I'm running now Yes, I'm running now Ooh, is it so complicated? I'm running now Yes, I'm running now Ooh, so don't you try to save me I'm running now Yes, I'm running now She's leaning on my window sill I'm praying that soon she will Come on back inside to me

My grip on my secrets slipping while I'm speaking in tongues Screaming at the top of my lungs in the confession booth Take it with a pillar of salt, H.A.L.T., it's not my fault The devil made me do it, but I also kinda wanted to I'm cut from a different kind of meat More than you can chew, hard to swallow me Forget bored stiff, I got rigor mortis, call it morbid curiosity how I Cannot commit to reality, when my third eye's open and I like what I see Baby, I may be crazy but I didn't lose it, no I set it free I can't ignore what's under dance floorboards The rhythm of my heart a dead-as-disco beat But I still move my feet to slip out of this groove, I'm free Now, to row, row, row my boat over the falls And maybe wake up from but a dream, yeah I'm just a psycho, babe, come and go out my mind I didn't lose it babe, there wasn't much to find I'm just a psycho, babe, come and go out my mind I'm only passing through If you knew what I knew, if you saw what I see You'd look through illusions, hallucinations, and lucid dream And I know that meaning can be such a pretty thing to keep But I got facts and I'm not afraid to use 'em Take the good with the bad, take off the back you make a new front Some days I'm glad that I am a madman and I'd rather be that than An amicable animal, mild-mannered cannibal But I'm more level-headed and clever than ever And I'm getting better one forever at a time, and if Sick is defined by what's different, well then pull the plug out and let me die Vice-versa vice versus virtue, well who I am I choose through all the things I do And if it rhymes, it's true - but I hate poetry Now with my moral compass pointing south, going down With no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no respect for reality I'm just a psycho, babe, come and go out my mind I didn't lose it babe, there wasn't much to find I'm just a psycho, babe, come and go out my mind I'm only passing through I'm just a psycho, babe, come and go out my mind I didn't lose it babe, there wasn't much to find I'm just a psycho, babe, come and go out my mind A tourist passing through! Well that was fun, goodbye!

Head down as I punch this clock The hours roll, they never stop And I can't ever seem to get ahead Always tryin' to do what's right Straight and narrow, it's gettin' tight Don't know how much longer I can stand And I'm wonderin' Yeah, I'm wonderin' Where's my promised land? Out here on this desert road It's hot as fire but I've grown cold Circlin' like a plane that never lands And even though the questions change The answers always stay the same Maybe someday I will understand So I'm wonderin' Got me wonderin' Whеre's my promised land? Yeah, I'm wondеrin' Still, I'm wonderin' Where's my promised land? Well, I've run this earth for many years If there's one thing I know There's nowhere on this side o' Heaven Where streets are made o' gold I've long laid tell my grand illusions Lookin' toward the day that I'll be home I won't give up on this race Broken but I still have faith That this old life is all part of a plan And I can feel it in my soul One day I'll stand before the Throne With nothin' left but hope and these two hands Through all these seasons I'm still believin' You're my promised land In all my grievin' I'm still believin' You're my promised land You're my promised land, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh My promised land, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ah-ah, (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Oh-oh, oh-oh (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) You're my promised land
