I know I would never be the man
Mama would like you to hold out your hand to
Coins in my pocket is all that is left
Of my days of wealth, glory and theft
All I ever did was just trying to get by
All I ever could was just living a lie
In this world of steel cold eyes and ties
And even if we stray one day we'll be free
And even if we stray one day we'll be free
And even if we stray one day we'll be free
From remorse and fear and sorrow and the demons we keep
It took 28 years for me to realize
What I could have been if I'd just given it a try
All the joyful nights of sex and drugs and bars
We chased out all the thoughts that were never really ours
All the time we never thought we'd fall
We never thought that we could lose it all
In the glimpse of a moment that takes its toll
And even if we stray one day we'll be free
And even if we stray one day we'll be free
And even if we stray one day we'll be free
From remorse and fear and sorrow and the demons we keep
So forget what you once knew
And sing me the blues
Oh sing me the blues
Just sing me the blues
Of your heart
And even if we stray one day we'll be free
And even if we stray one day we'll be free
And even if we stray one day we'll be free
From remorse and fear and sorrow and the demons we keep
