LYING IN THE SUN |
| Wish I could lie in the sun The same things as anyone Wish I could lie down there With my feet high in the air I'd have a drink in my hand Read words from a newspaper stand Wish I could lie in the sun Wish I could fly like everyone The same things as anyone The same things as anyone But you bind me up, you paint my skin In bad designs that ain't even in My skin's crawlin' up the wall Into the ocean love true fall I hear the sounds but they ain't the same As feeling them with you to fade away There's always more worse off than me Supposing lucky I can't even see All the people that I'd like to be Passing me by everyday in the street The same things as anyone The same things as anyone But you bind me up, you paint my skin In bad designs that ain't even in I got good lungs, I got a good heart My mind is fit and my feet can walk And here I am in the shade on the street Askin' people for money to eat What did I ever do to deserve this? Did I kill a child or something worse? The same things as anyone What's your reason, baby, make you feel How much more fortunate you are than me |
