He Got Game (feat. Stephen Stills) - Public Enemy

I don't know what was wrong But I wasn't as strong I've seen daisies hold cannonballs above them But if this was a dream I still know that I've seen Fields of daisies hold cannonballs above them I'm so far from perfect You still loved me when I so far from deserved it If I'm so brave why does looking you in the eye take every ounce of my courage? I hang my face to the linoleum and count the freckles on the floor All of us, all of us are a galaxy of tiny little storms The good and evil in me wage a bloody civil war The missiles whistle through me then the rebel pistols roar I shiver and the final slivers of my chivalry retreat my shriveled core I can't imagine the I'll ever be happy like before Before, before We're sitting in a field in Golden Gate Park off Fulton and 4th And I've never felt less alone Just a block from the home I've outgrown Five feet and forty years to the right from where dad proposed An inch above this casserole of stones, grass and mud Rusty needles, lost guitar picks, Indian tombs, and dinosaur bones Everything happened all at once And the world is spinning like a hubcap, and not just because of the drugs We hugged and laid there in each others' arms all night Even when the sprinklers cried on us we didn't mind We had the rest of our lives to be dry So we stayed until the edges of the sky turned light I would have stay until our hair turned white The mosquitoes arrived to feast on time Got drunk at our expense, we didn't mind We let them bite, we kept on kissing and obliged Say "bottoms up, you've only got til Tuesday so enjoy the ride!" And I couldn't imagine that I would ever be unhappy again And I whispered in your ear that this moment is already a poem That I just figured out my first tattoo was going to be of bug bites Decided I'd commemorate their bloody drink by printing three circles on my ankle Perfect and pink in permanent ink The beautiful wounds that will keep me, you and this moment forever linked To remind me when I fail myself, when I fail everyone around me When I misfire and come tearing through your walls When the cocktail of humiliation and pain poisons my veins And this carnival of carnage, this mansion of garbage, this parking lot of carcasses This heartbreak party drains the spirit that remains That I have been a part of something worthwhile To remind me of the pleasure your pulse The measure of your breath The rise and fall of our fortunes and our chests These spectacular triumphs and flops That even if that moment meant nothing to the universe, It's the closest thing to God I've got I'm so far from perfect So far it's been worth it

The pain of losing you, well it made me an angry man Was there something else that I could do? Or was it over? Had I the chance? So I listened once again to my bluebird sing Oh, yes and children how she made the mountains ring Now when hearts be stilled that voice is spring Oh, my precious my soul says to my blue eyed sparrow Come back, come back, I can put away the cages Come back, come back, I can put away the rages Come back, come back, can we turn the next page together? And to my bluebird laugh, she can tell you why Deep within her heart you see she knows only cryin' There she sits aloft at perch, strangest color blue Flying is forgotten now, thinks only of you Get into all those blues must be a thousand years And each is differently used, you just know You sit there mesmerized by the depth of her eyes I can tell you no lies She's got soul, yeah She's got soul, yeah She's got soul, yeah She's got soul, yeah Yeah-yeah-yeah Soon she's goin' to fly away, sadness is her own Give herself a bath of tears and go home now So I listened once again to my bluebird sing Oh, yes and children how she made the mountains ring Now when hearts be stilled that voice is spring Oh, my precious my soul says to my blue eyed sparrow

Think I'll go back home Think I'll go back home Think I'll go back home Back where I belong Think I'll go back home Nothin' for me here Nothin' for me here, child, no there ain't Nothin' for me here People trapped by fear And you can't get near Lived with you, I felt Lived with you, I felt, child Lived with you, I felt I was by myself I was someone else Babe, come home with me Babe, come home with me now Babe, come home with me And I'll make you see Yes, I'm gonna set you free When I woke up this morning I found that I was alone, yeah Till I called your number They told me there's no one home again Baby, what does it mean? Is it like it seems?
