I've been sold down the river


And I've been told that Jesus delivers

But don't believe everything that you bleed


It may mean nothing to you


But it means something to me




I got sidetracked and rearranged


And like a leper, I've been estranged

And drawn to fame like a moth to a flame


Living hand to mouth but I'm hoping for change




I've been drowning in the Queen's tears


I've been staring at a square face in the mirror for years


She feels like water and she tastes like wind

And her fire burns hotter when the night rolls in





You've been a saint, I've been a sinner

You're a fat cat, I'm getting thinner


I'm having trouble telling wrong from right


These slippery handshakes that keep me awake at night




Oh, I think you've seen me before


You had your eyes on mine 'cause your grass don't grow

This ain't a song, it's a call to arms


There's a gathering storm, better sound the alarm




I've been drowning in the Queen's tears


I've been staring at a square face in the mirror for years


She feels like water and she tastes like wind

And her fire burns hotter when the night rolls in





None of your friends ever know what to say

'Cause what you wish for tomorrow, you could have today


None of your friends ever know what to say


'Cause what you wish for tomorrow, you could have today




Up sister, keep your head on


Living in the past but the past is gone

Up sister, can you hear?

That the future is here, the future is here now




Up sister, keep your head on


Living in the past but the past is gone

Up sister, come clean

It's a slippery slope and you're the avalanche queen




None of your friends ever know what to say


'Cause what you wish for tomorrow, you could have today

None of your friends ever know what to say

'Cause what you wish for tomorrow, you could have today
