Lately

(album: Big Blue Sky - 1994)

Lately I've felt deep inside myself
maybe something ain't right
I feel like I've been turned
and put on the back burner
And there's no rescue in sight
maybe I have changed
But you know I feel the same
still got this hunger in my bones
I feel like an all night drive
all the way to the other side
There's a place I used to call my home
Lately I've seen a different side of me
I don't know where I have gone
I'm killing friend and foe
somebody tell me so I know
Whose side I am on
like a cat stuck in a tree
I gotta jump before I'll be free
I guess the ground will break my fall
Lately I've been lost
gotta find me an albatross
To lead me back into my port
of call hey I hey I
Got something to tell you
hey I hey I never meant to hurt you
Gotta get my stuff
and go gotta leave to free my soul
Lately I've been out of my head again
I don't know what I have found
I feel at home here I'm not alone here
Lot of messed up heads in this town
But I never drew one single word from you
You lay there hidden in the prone
I never proved to be anything but an oddity
I guess I'm better of alone
Hey I hey I got something to tell you
hey I hey I never meant to hurt you
Gotta get my stuff
and go gotta leave to free my soul
