I think I tried to wake up too fast From what must have been a two year nap Then I hit my head and it was back to bed for a while
I woke up twenty-four in Texas Breaking a sweat to expand my Nexus When it occurred to me, maybe I shouldn't be Making excuses to cope so liberally
They say some things just don't wash out But I've been dying to know what getting clean is all about And now years have gone by But it's still stuck in my mind
(Some things just don't wash out)
For too long now I've sung the same sad song But I didn't even write it; I was just singing along But the problem with change is it's hard Like finding lively conversation in graveyards
I hit the nail on the head, drove it straight through my hand I have martyred myself in a scheme not so grand More deserving of men left to rot in a rag Haven't done shit with my life and my skin is starting to sag
(You drink too much, your mind's unfit) (You really can't afford to live like this) (You're only almost there, but still so far) Everyone? (Everyone!)

They say some things just don't wash out But I've been dying to know what getting clean is all about And now years have gone by But it's still stuck in my mind
Some things just don't wash out (Some things just don't wash out) Some things just don't wash out (Some things just don't wash out)
Now years have gone by And it's still stuck in my mind
