Was an honest man.
Asked me for the phone;
Tried to take control
I don’t see it that way.
I don’t see it that way.
We shared some ideas.
All obsessed with fame;
Says we’re all the same
I don’t see it that way.
I don’t see it that way.
Raised in Carolina,
“I’m not like that.”
Trying to remind her
When we go back.
I missed the last bus; I’ll take the next train
I try but you see, it’s hard to explain.
I say the right things, but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay.
I watch the TV; forget what I’m told
Well I am too young, and they are too old.
The joke is on you. This place is a zoo.
“You’re right, it’s true.”
Says he can’t decide.
Shake my head to say
Everything’s just great.
I just can’t remember.
I just can’t remember.
Raised in Carolina, she says:
“I’m not like that.”
Trying to remind her
When we go back.
I say the right things, but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay.
I watch the T.V.; forget what I’m told
Well I am too young, and they are too old.
Oh man, can’t you see I’m nervous, so please,
Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean.
I missed the last bus; we take the next train
I try but you see, it’s hard to explain.
