I don't know why, I feel like I do Rats in my head, stones in my shoes I can't explain the way that I feel It hovers like a ghost inside of me and I know it's real I don't know why, I don't know why I don't know why, I don't know why Slum education, tenement kid He knew the score, kept it well hid Mother was damaged, father was too Handed down the generations, inheritance blues I don't know why, I don't know why I don't know why, I don't know why Something is broken, always unspoken Please, cut me open, let me have this Something is broken, always unspoken Please, cut me open, let me have this I don't know why it makes me sense things Grabbed like a memory with a broken wind I don't know why it makes me sense things Grabbed like a memory with a broken wind I don't know why, I don't know why, I don't know why I don't know why, I don't know why I don't know why, I don't know why Some find it easy to find their way home Some always troubled in some kind of storm Some always wounded, injured and wronged Crying and screaming from coast to coast closed like a fist I don't know why, I don't know why I don't know why, I don't know why

What a lala... According to the fills The Philistines surround my hills Got to make a run They're behind me with a gun But there's one thing I've got to say For what I don't know now, know now, know now That's why I've got to go According to the fills My feet are my only wheels Still I've got to live Although I'm the fugitive Yes there's one thing I've got to say For what I don't know now, know now, know now That's why I've got to go Yes I've got to go According to the fills The Philistines surround my hills (Lord) I've got to make a run for it They're behind me with a gun Got to let you know, For what I don't know now, know now, know now That's why I've got to go Let them know 'Bout to, 'bout to leave
