Today I met the man who's gonna kill me
Hes my friend
He's not a man, he's not even on the move. Oh
Across the way
From where I get my pay
They putting up a carnival that got a fortune teller who said
She know my fate if I don't change
She say, Everyone I know
Is trying to go cool, or just go home
And then do it all again
They say they happy doin' their own thing
Putting they self before no one else they say
Everyone I know is trying to make out
They play the games
But ain't no one got it figured out
Today I made a plan for how to make it big
Or just make it out
Of this place that I'm stuck
She grins, that could be the thing that does you in
But They Don't Know
They Don't Ever Really Know
Take me out tonight
And we'll do it all again
Like we did when I was 17
And like we did when you was born again
She say, Everyone I know
Is trying to go cold, or just go home
And then do it all again.
They say they happy doin' their own thing
Putting they self before no one else they say
She say, Everyone I now is dead
