Lyrics

Yeah, hey-yeah I want to travel south this year Ah, whoa-whoa Won't prevent safe passage here Why you act crazy? Not an act maybe So close a lady Shifty eyes shady Yeah, hey-yeah Tears that soak a callous heart Why you act frightened? I am enlightened Your weakness builds me So someday you'll see I stay away Why you act crazy? Not an act maybe So close a lady Shifty eyes shady I stay away I stay away I stay away I stay away
