Well a thing was said to me |
|
Time's your enemy |
|
It may heal a wound, but it won't hide a scar |
|
And the only thing to do |
|
Is to yourself be true |
|
'cause a head that's in the clouds won't see the stars |
|
When i was young i never walked away |
|
I'd nail my colours to the wall |
|
Though black and white soon turned to shades of grey |
|
There is one thing that i really know for sure |
|
Nobody's gonna set me up |
|
Nobody's gonna set me up |
|
There's a bitterness in you |
|
'cause all you ever do |
|
Is to drag your spirit screaming to the floor |
|
But you gotta make your luck |
|
Before your time is up |
|
And they take you in your box out through the door |
|
But i'm not saying i don't care at all |
|
I'd rescue you before you drown |
|
But if behind my back they start to talk |
|
I'm a tougher kind of man this time around |
|
Nobody's gonna set me up |
|
Nobody's gonna set me up |
|
When you look back and see what you have done |
|
Well was it really that much fun |
|
To laugh and kick the fallen ones |
|
Gonna grow another skin |
|
This one's getting thin |
|
I've been bitten twice but never lost my nerve |
|
Well you gotta hide the hurt |
|
When people dish the dirt |
|
'cause if you don't try nothing that's what you deserve |
|
There are people with their eyes of green |
|
Smiling when you take a fall |
|
Maybe a friend or someone never seen |
|
But even with my back against the wall |
|
Nobody's gonna set me up |
|
Nobody's gonna set me up |
|
People said to me |
|
Time's your enemy |
|
It may heal a wound, but it won't hide a scar |
|
Nobody's gonna set me up |
|
Nobody's gonna set me up |
|
And the only thing to do |
|
Is to yourself be true |
|
'cause a head that's in the clouds won't see the stars |
