So you've seen I've gotten this far. Please give me some place to worry. I'm not trying to go there, so take me away. Life sometimes pisses me off. It's never a good trip for me Every time I reach for love, it's taken away. Night! So I play. Give me a sign this is day. Give me some patience, so I pray. It's time to die. Is that what I want? There's nothing wrong wanting to be loved. Is there something wrong with me? Once in my life I'd like to be really set free. Let me be me. Night! So I play. Give me a sign this is day. Give me some guidance, so I pray. It's time to die. Is that what I want? Take me away. Taken away. Take me away. Taken away. Something I get, I got to get home Run, run, run, run, run, run running home Where is my home Night! So I play. Give me a sign this is day. Give me some patience, so I pray. It's time to die. Is that what I want? Night! So I play. Give me a sign this is day. Give me some guidance, so I pray. It's time to die. Is that what I want?
