Someone’s got it in for me
They’re planting stories in the press
Whoever it is

I can only guess
They say I shot a man named Gray
And took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks
And when she died it came to me
I can’t help it if I’m lucky
People see me all the time

Images and distorted facts
Even you, yesterday
You had to ask me where it was at
I couldn’t believe after all these years
You didn’t know me any better than that

I ran into the fortune-teller
Who said beware of lightning
that might strike
I haven’t known peace and quiet
For so long,

I can’t remember what it’s like
There’s a lone soldier on the cross
Smoke pouring out of a boxcar door

And destiny which broke us apart
You tamed the lion in my cage
But it just wasn’t enough

to change my heart
Now everything’s a little upside down
As a matter of fact, the wheels have stopped
What’s good is bad, what’s bad is good
You’ll find out when you reach the top
You’re on the bottom
I noticed at the ceremony
Your corrupt ways had finally made you blind
I can’t remember your face anymore
Your mouth has changed,

your eyes don’t look into mine
The priest wore black on the seventh day
And sat stone-faced while the building burned
I waited for you on the running boards
Near the cypress trees,
while the springtime turned
Slow- ly into Autumn
I can’t feel you anymore
I can’t even touch the books you’ve read
Every time I crawl past your door
I been wishing

I've been somebody else instead
Down the highway, down the tracks
Down the road to ecstasy
I followed you beneath the stars
Hounded by your memory
And all your raging glory
I been double-crossed now
For the very last time and now I’m finally free
I kissed goodbye the howling beast
On the borderline

which separated you from me
You’ll never know the hurt I suffered
Nor the pain I rise above
And I’ll never know the same about you
Your holiness or your kind of love
And it makes me feel so sorry
