U-Know-D Major

U-Know - D Major I've got a picture in my bedroom drawer And I take it out just once a year To prove to you I was alive before I've got a flask inside my pocket And I'll drink it if I want to I don't need a hand to make me feel secure But it's alright, I'm not asking for no faith Just leave me alone and I'll try to do the same And it's alright, I just like the way you look at me So God help me if I can't make that change I've got a song I've sung about fifty times But I keep slurring every other line I say it's what keeps me honest when I write But I've got backwards way of thinking Where the blacks and whites all get reversed Some kind of symphonic-like plight I hold so dear But it's alright, I'm not asking for no faith Just leave me alone and I'll try to do the same And it's alright, I just like the way you look at me So God help me if I can't make that change Your lips are a tragedy A genocide in a cacophony Of a sound that's not quite pure Played by a sad singer in an old hotel On a piano bench at the ballroom bar It's the only tune he knows And now he's drunk as hell as he hits the keys A hint stale perfume and cheap whiskey The sights begin to blurr He said "it was a small mistake, It was a small mistake, It was a small mistake" It was a catastrophe But it's alright, I'm not asking for no faith Just leave me alone and I'll try to do the same And it's alright I just like the way you look at me So God help me if I can't make that change So I'll keep my eyes on yours if you keep yours on mine
