Well I’m tired of walking
And I’m feeling let down
‘Cause the road to your place
Got me running A-round
And I’m tired of this game
‘Cause I never win
While you take and you steal
All my innocence
Well the demons they howl
And they hide their face
Because they want my blood
But they know I’ll stay
Where the blind men walk
And the people pray
For the love they’ve lost
In this wretched day
Well how long
Will I have to wait
How long?
Will they stand in my way
Well they’ve singled me out as a faithful man
But my real desire is a simple plan
For the love that you felt as a little child
To be the truth you find when we’re getting wild
There is nothing new
There is nothing old
There is only us and our heavy load
If my father’s there
Then he best be aware
There is too much blood in our current affair
Well how long
Will I have to wait?
How long
Will these demons stray?
Well I’m all in my head
I need talking down
If this little white pill that I put in my mouth
Doesn’t calm these nerves
I’ll expel this scowl
I need something way stronger please
Oh Mr. Brown
Well I’m tired of walking
And I need to lie down
‘Cause the game in my head
Got me running A-round
If it’s me that you love babe
Then tell me now
Or I’ll get in my car
And I’ll smoke this town
Well how long
Will I be this way?
How long
‘Til I find my place
How long
Will they stand in my way
How long
Will these demons stray
