lyrics

Long as I remember I’ve always found myself
tangled in this poisonous tale.
I guess I have no saying in this grip on my soul
that’s growing old way upon my flesh.
And it doesn’t really matter how hard I try to escape,
it seems I'm bound to loose this game.

I’m going away, I’ll take out of my head,
I won’t be calling your name for a while.
I’m not becoming your slave,
won’t do whatever you say,
I won’t be eating from the palm of your hand.
Still, I’m dying to sleep with you
but a man’s gotta keep his pride.

As your face is always changing, I can never really tell.
You’re killing me time and time again.
I give all my loving but you give me all your shade.
You’re keeping me dark and out of shape.
And now I’ve had it. It's time for me to split.
At least I’ve got this song to sing.

I’m going away, I’ll take out of my head,
I won’t be calling your name for a while.
I’m not becoming your slave,
won’t do whatever you say,
I won’t be eating from the palm of your hand.
Still, I’m dying to sleep with you
but a man’s gotta keep his pride.
