Shame

All my friends they shoulder me

And my poor head of woe

They know I'm good

But I wanna be bad

Standing with the lights down low

And the lovers who make love

They see me smiling

But I wanna be sad

Would you light me up

Really set me on fire

And be there when I'm burning out?

Would you hold my hand

'Neath the water tower

And elbow me if I get too loud?

Evil walks the streets by day

'Tween every crack and pave

And by night, it cowers and hides

Here it comes that awful sting

When you let someone in

You sit so bare, in the lame legged chair

Would you light me up

Really set me on fire

And be there when I'm burning out?

Would you hold my hand

'Neath the water tower

And elbow me if I get too loud?

I wanna live between the lie

And where the truth dies

Everything in it's own time

Would you light me up

Really set me on fire

And be there when I'm burning out?

Would you hold my hand

'Neath the water tower

And elbow me if I get too loud?

Would you light me up

Really set me on fire

And be there when I'm burning out?

Would you hold my hand

'Neath the water tower

And elbow me if I get too loud?
