All of a sudden I am lost without a care From books I've read, for hanging heads For hearts in mouths and a sense of dread And you might think it's gritty girl But it does not compare to all I know, The open road, the sights and sounds When I'm far from home. And all I know is that there is nowhere left to run And in a second there'll be nowhere left to go And I'll thank god only when I know That there are heathens looking on And I want them to know that they're wrong. If you really want me to be strong again Won't you call back the army who turned and fled? Do you think I would trust this With the fickle hand of justice at my throat. And now all that I need is a hand to hold on to. A lie, a look, a chance you took right before my eyes And it's crystal clear after all these years It's me that you love but it's me that you fear. Sitting, simmering all this time. And now in this makeshift noose I will take my truce And you'll never know why, and that's what will kill you. And all I know is that there is nowhere left to run And in a second there'll be nowhere left to go And I'll thank god only when I know That there are heathens looking on And I want them to know that they're wrong. If you really want me to be strong again Won't you call back the army who turned and fled? Won't you show me a way I can raise the dead? You can wipe the slate clean but you can't forget now.
