Read in the press I can do no wrong A street sensation who lives on and on I heard the crowd singing out in praise Then, lost control in the smoky haze I see a face screwed tight to the bone From running scared in a world of my own I need some room and I need some time To pick up pieces of my broken life
They think they own you They control you But it pays off big Once they find you They’ll never leave you alone And it pays off big
I’m out of touch with the boys back home They try to call but I won’t pick up the phone Don’t waste your breath explaining to me How this damn life of mine Has been one long dream
They think they own you They control you But it pays off big Once they find you They’ll never leave you alone And it pays off big
Too many voices ringing in my heal I start to scream and I begin to sweat Deeper and deeper it’s pulling me in Wish I could start all over again
