I got arrested
in the dark of the night
the cop got restless
as he read me
my rights he told me
"im always envious
of those that i jail
if i got locked up
nobody'd come
to help me post bail"
and i said "oh!"
went to a party
on the side of a hill
met three latinas
who had gotten their fill
they told me
"nobody ever gets us down
on our knees simply
to help us take
a load off our feet"
and i said "oh!"
and im never sure
what i'm living for
but it's always on my mind
someone comes along
always proves me wrong
think im gonna be fine
i picked a pocket
just to give it all
back took out the license
left the money in tact
the man said
"i wanna thank you"
and i had to ask why
"That was the old me
I was living a lie"
and i said "oh!"
riding the subway
with the scent of her hair
she took out a toothbrush
started using it there
she explained
"im always sure
today's the day
i will die
i wanna look good
if i get to look god
in the eye&quo
t; and i said "oh!"
and im never sure
what i'm living for
but it's always on my mind
someone comes along
always proves me wrong
think im gonna be fine
we get lost
in the back of our minds
got nothing to burn but time
time time everybody's
got the love
but they keep it inside
met an acquaintance
we were reintroduced
with more in common
than we had in our youth
she told me
"you look the same"
i said
"i'm now a new man"
he asked me
"how does that work"
"i started giving a damn"
and i said "oh!"
