Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I told Althea I was feeling lost
Lacking in some direction
Althea told me upon scrutiny
That my back might need protection
[Chorus]
I told Althea that treachery
Was tearing me limb from limb
Althea told me, "Now cool down. boy
Settle back easy, Jim"
[Verse 2]
You may be Saturday's child all grown
Moving with a pinch of grace
You may be a clown in the burying ground
Or just another pretty face
[Chorus]
You may be the fate of Ophelia
Sleeping and perchance to dream
Honest to the point of recklessness
Self-centered to the extreme
[Bridge]
There are things you can replace
And others you cannot
The time has come to weigh those things
This space is gettin' hot
You know this space is gettin' hot
[Verse 3]
Ain't nobody messin' with you but you
Your friends are getting most concerned
Loose with the truth, baby, it's your fire
Baby, I hope you don't get burned
[Chorus]
"And when the smoke has cleared," she said
That's what she said to me
"You're gonna want a bed to lay your head
And a little sympathy"
