I'm sad for those whose eyes are closed Can't see further than the end of the nose Always caught, it seems to me, Between the devil and the deep blue sea
And always something bars the way Oh you know that it's true Forced to throw our dreams away They never come true anyway
Well sometimes they do Some dreams can Some dreams do
And you can try Sacrifice Still friendships die
Can't justify The sea of tears that I've cried To the Cannabis Kid It's really not important at all No no no no
I'm sad for those whose hearts are froze With every passing day his misery grows Always caught, it seems to me, Between sex and slavery
And like the fools who fail to see From the top of the pole And sway between the boring scene And a fear of the dole
It was hard, hard loving you It's a hard, hard thing to do
But it's a crime To murder time You save yours I'll save mine
I can't stay around And watch my love for you drown While all those clowns Slowly drag us down
I know life's joys so hopelessly few You know that you were To mention Someone special I know life's joys so hopelessly few Don't you know that you are Somebody special And now we all helplessly viewing the tension I know life's joys so pitifully few
You cannot learn The secrets I have learned You're much too cool There's no return When Mad Jack starts to burn His way through you And he will He will
You don't own me <fool?> I don't own you You don't owe me I don't owe you
