First time I came to the city I knew just what I'd do I got me some wheels and a grip I could feel Some wine and some tape for my reel to reel This time around I thought I make a good thing last I thought I'd do a whole lot better I tried to make sense and I was getting quite good at it Somehow I got washed up and I lost it entirely So take one more look at me honey Why am I not sitting on top of your hill I'm not in the mood not fit for the climb I do what I can but I'm falling behind you Look at what I'm willing to give you You can have both of my eyes Throw me in a hole and let me fade away slow But please don't abandon my soul The second time I came to the city Things got really weird Some things never change I lost it once again I took a chance it got me here But what it is it's not too clear So take one more look at me honey Why am I not sitting on top of your hill I'm not in the mood not fit for the climb I do what I can but I'm falling behind you Look at what I'm willing to give you You can have both of my eyes Throw me in a hole and let me fade away slow But please don't abandon my soul Look at what I'm willing to do for you You can have both of my eyes Throw them in a hole And let them rot away slow But please don't abandon my soul Please don't abandon my soul
