Hey Mister

(앨범: Can't Get There From Here - 1999)

Looking back there's nothing left to say
Wishing that this life would slowly fade away
Dreams behind these eyes no one could know
But wake to find there's nowhere left to go

Hey mister can't you see I'm feeling so alone?
But then I don't think you'd understand
All I ever wanted was to live life unafraid
All I ever needed was some love

Stories told on weary cardboard signs
Eulogise the lives now left behind
Faces worn and etched with all despair
Passers by they look but seldom care

Hey mister can't you see the ring around the moon?
Maybe it's the water in my eyes
All I ever wanted was to live life unashamed
All I ever needed was some love

Living on the edge of sanity
Wondering how this ever came to be
Feeling so unnecessary got to find some sanctuary
Hey buddy can you spare a dime?

Hey mister can't you see I'm feeling so abused?
But really I don't think you'd understand
All I ever wanted was to live life what I mean is
All I ever needed was someone

Hey mister
Hey mister can't you see I'm just a man like you?
Who's trying hard to keep his dignity
Maybe if you could just walk a mile inside my shoes
You'd see that I just need a helping hand

Hey mister please begging on my knees
Can anybody help me find my way?
