You say the world is doing fine
Except for the canaries down in the mine
theyre just not singing anymore
Theyre lying lifeless on the floor
Some say love is like oxygen
And since you left me Ive been suffering
Round and round like a weathervane I go
And I cant find which way the wind will blow
In fact this whole thing is a mystery
And Im feeling less and less free
Locked between the bars of my birth and my death
What my crime was well I can only guess
But you were the light in my darkness night
I was blind when you gave me sight
To see all that was beautiful
My empty life so lush lush and full
Oh your body was my temple of doom
A sanctuary and a living tomb
Where I was buried in two seconds flat
I know you said sometimes love is like that
But all I have left is a lock of your hair
At least I think its yours but baby I dont care
I you gave me presents I cant find them now
You said you did but I got my doubts
Because all you told me were sweet sweet lies
I could have been one a thousand guys
You could never get enough of you
Who were so shocked when their time was through
Thats it for me Im on my way home
Im singing the last verse of like a Rolling Stone
Rest assure I never wanted you to change
Into something refined or prearranged
Some say the world is doing fine
And those canaries are done their time
But I cant hear them singing anymore
Im nearly lifeless on your floor
(from here he usually starts playing open chords,
keep continuing the )
Hey now little cha cha cha...
