Lyrics:
Is it me or have the last few weeks just come and gone
‘Cause I can’t recall a word I’ve said or where I went wrong
It’s like I’m sleep walking on a tight wire no land beneath my feet
It’s like I’m running blind on a telephone line cars drive by on a busy street
Full of gasoline driving uphill I think I can
I’ll try to keep quiet or else my famous last words will be…
What I said (4x)
Surprise, surprise I find myself up to my old tricks again
Going down this road of good intentions I swear I’ve never been
You’d think that I would have learned by now I guess old dogs die hard
But until I know why I get restless in the sun in my backyard
And if I’m obscene by eating out of alleys and garbage cans
You know I’ll try to keep quiet or else my famous last words will be…
Can I come clean by jumping out the tub all soaking wet
You know I’ll try to keep quiet or else my famous last words will be…
