Back in the days when I burned out I wondered to myself just why I never got it figured out I'm a hero on a mission in a protoplasmic sphere In another
This is a call to all of those that I've been missin' This is a call to all of those I used to know I get so jaded and my blood begins to thicken down
I get the feelin' we've been left in the dark About mysterious lights in the sky The magnetic poles start to shift The world is chargin' at the speed
YEA! Wanna tell you a story About a friend of mine in the pen When the gavel fell and the lock down cell This ? has its revenge I aint taking about
Sixteen and waitin' on the corner Watchin' all the people go by Thinkin' of how directed that they all must be As a tear rolls from his eye Stuck down
