Now as you know
It`s your time on this earth
From a rock in the cradle
To a ride in the hearse
We keep moving upward
Toward everything free
Kindly look downward
The more you`ll see me
I`ve had six years of luck
I`ve had six on the line
And I`ve poured myself out
Like an old bitter wine
I`ve seen much of nothin`
And nothin`s the gain
Thrown on my backside
I don`t know my name
There`s too many tears
Too many tears
Too many people
In too many years
Some tears of laughter
Some tears of pain
Break like a fever
And fall like the rain
Points on the map, tears line the way
I`ve seen all your pretty things
And it won`t stop the pain
There`s been much confusion
With too many hurt
I feel my words dyin`
Down in the dirt
I`ve had lies in my head
There been lies in my heart
I`ve been tortured by this riddle
And I don`t know how to stop
With a lightning flash and thunder, boys
And my mind starts to click
So do what you must do
And you best do it quick
Doctor, Oh Doctor
My world`s in you hands
I feel like I`m dyin`
And boy I need a plan
Sister, sweet sister
There`s blood on my lips
Why does it feel like
This room`s doing flips
The rains come on time
It`s clear I can tell
I`ve seen your work everywhere
And there`s mercy in hell
With a lightning flash and thunder, boys
And again it all comes down
Do you see your life merging
With these poor souls on the ground
