I was young and I was dumb
And my left arm was going numb
Dare to think, while I'm on the brink
That a simple word of comfort just might come
CHORUS
Brace yourselves. We're headin' back
In a time machine to a heart attack
Where the flow of blood into the brain
Is down to a trickle, almost insane
They were telling me I was really free
They could see it by the way I used my words
But in the dark of night I could see that they weren't right
Because speeches are to free as cages are to birds
BRIDGE
Peel off each old sticker
With a slow and steady hand
Strip off all the high gloss sheen
And maybe go sell the van
It's time to let the people know
That you're sorry that you made 'em go
And that life must be a more sacred thing
Than a couple cheap words
And a promise ring
So kick me down, and tear my gown
'Cause I've been prancing 'round the stage in my underwear
But I just went along I even lead them all in song
We had special words that we always used down there
CHORUS
It's a deep dark mine and I gave in
To the fact that we're up against a cave-in
I'm pretty happy that I lost control
'Cause I never really had it. I was just on a roll
