"Everybody drink, everybody drink till we drop..."
Been driving hours so we stopped for some gas then, Filled up the tank, paid cash and ready to go, Busted through the door I thought to myself Look at these people they all have their routines and They paint their picket fences whiter than me And when the sun comes up, They make their breakfast so damn perfectly, Only wish that I could have it this way But I'm not coming, at least not for a while, But when I do, I hope you do
Welcome me with open arms, don't knocking at my door, Cause you're not a stranger And they don't know me like, they don't know me like, you do, But it's time to go So maybe next time we can talk this through I promise that I'll be there, cause no one knows me like, you do...
Was it something that I said that made you so upset? The color of the sky can make it all better Oh! Look there's a plane, from where I came (hell yeah!), A sign of freedom, life's worth livin' We scout like vultures in desert kind of hungry This ain't no way to live, but this is what it all comes down to What it all comes down to I'm coming home, but just for a while, When I do, I hope you do
Welcome me with open arms, don't knocking at my door, Cause you're not a stranger And they don't know me like, they don't know me like, you do, But it's time to go So maybe next time we can talk this through I promise that I'll be there, cause no one knows me like, no one knows me like you.
All the way back, to the first time, when I closed my eyes... They always said "you've got to move forth with your life, time to grow up". Since I was young I recall that, I couldn't make it alone and I know that, And I said "well I had dream where I felt alive, On the stage under all the heavy lights, Their faces shine on to me (on to me), we're singing..."
Oh oh uh oh...
We do this all for free, it's something that we do We stand, stand for something And even when we're down to the last crumb We can all agree that, "this is the life" So pick yourself up off the ground It's time, time to take a stand For what you believe in, just heed our words Cause we stand, stand for something!
