My Papa told me to stay out of trouble 'When you've found your man, make sure he's for real!'.
I've learned that nothing really lasts forever I sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal They won't heal.
Cos every time I seem to fall in love Crash! Boom! Bang! I find the heart but then I hit the wall Crash! Boom! Bang! That's the call, that's the game and the pain stays the same.
I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew.
My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow But I always did, and Lord, I still do I'm still breaking the rules I kick it up I kick it down.
Cos every time I seem to fall in love Crash! Boom! Bang! I find the heart but then I hit the wall Crash! Boom! Bang! That's my real middle-name It has always been the same That's the call, that's the game and the pain stays the same.
I still feel the heat Slowly fallin' from the sky And the taste of the kissing Shattered by rain Comin' tumblin' from behind And the wild holy war.
I kick it up I kick it down
And every time I seem to fall in love Crash! Boom! Bang! I find the roses dying on the floor Crash! Boom! Bang! That's the tall, that's the game and the pain stays the same That's my real middle-name It has always been the same.
Oh Yea Oh Yea Oh Yea Uh-huh Been the same, been the same It has always been the same.
