the way you went away that day,
and the way you invited you
like you didn't have too much time
All of these things to think about,
why'd you leave me, leave behind?
the mice ain't gonna play
I promise I'll be true and I try,
the mice ain't gonna play
Red blood has no conscience,
there's nothing I can say
When I left you at the station,
I bumped into a friend of mine,
he said, this is your lucky day
Well, there's a party goin' on tonight,
and I just couldn't let it down
One thing led to another,
and the rally was all over the town
I promise I'll be true and I'll try,
Where the red blood has no conscience
There's nothing I can say
The clouds get bigger over my head
well, they're gonna be mad
They're gonna say I sold your soul
And when they read about me in the paper
I'll be the guy you used to know
I promise I'll be true and I'll try,
There's nothing I can say
And I'll try, I really do
There's nothing I can say
Oh, there's nothing I can say
