Gotta buy some feelin'
and take the heat
Gonna do some dealin'
get to the street

Johnny, I've been off a while
but now I'm running loose
Don't play your tricks on me, I'm tired, you see
'cause I know I've paid my dues
Join my preposterous smile
with love and hate combined
Provide a mellow state to negotiate
the essence of one's mind

What if I did try to break away?
Would it be alright all the way?
Oh my' and there you are
But why did I go so far?


Starin' at the ceilin'
gotta get out
I need some healin'
I'm about to shout

I've died a thousand times
if you know just what I mean
And this state of decay is the price I pay
to feed my joy machine
There ain't no way to shake
the wild monkey on my back
So don't keep beggin' me for patience, please
'cause you know that's what I lack

What if I did try to break away?
Would it be alright all the way?
Oh my' and there you are
But why did I go so far?
