I  found my fickle friend out in the  alley way.
He  said "You dont look so good."
I  said "Hey, Doc, that's great."
"You  started practicing,  I never  got the  note."
 So lets shake  and trade  and be on  our way.
 Lets go go go.
So  here we are again, inside  your neon shrine.
Sharing  a chopping block  beneath embarrassed light.
That  tries to hide  from us, it tucks  itself  away.
 So we both  grab hold  and say "No  you dont."
 Just stay, just stay.
The  mornings hot and harsh.
My  notebook fills itself.
The  words come thick with sweat.
But  it feels like someone else
Is  writing all  of this.
 Someone I  just cant  believe
 When I  mop my brow,  set my  pen back  down. Still me, still me.
 And I'm grabbing  at a feeling  now
 That I cant  ever  name.
 Some sign  posted to remind  me
 How I wanted  things  this  way.
 She says "It's pretty  but you hate  yourself."
 "I can hear  it clear  as day."
 And I say "I sing  like this,
 It sounds  worse  than it is."
 I'm okay, okay.
I'm  okay, okay.
I'm  okay, okay.
I'm  okay, okay.
So  just stay, just  stay
So  just stay, just  stay
I'm  okay, okay.
So  just stay, just  stay,
Just  stay, just stay.
Ohhhhh,  Whoa, Whoa  oh oh
Ohhhhh,  Whoa, Whoa  oh oh
Ohhhhh,  Whoa, Whoa  oh oh
Ohhhhh,  Whoa, Whoa  oh whoa.
Oh  Whoa, oh Whoa.
Oh  Whoa, oh Whoa.
Oh  Whoa, oh Whoa.
Oh  Whoa, oh Whoa.
