Ahhh
Ahhh… you see a strange man all cursing
Running up the wall all freakin’
His eyes tell yah he ain’t sleeping
Ahhh… you show me a fist not bleeding
You show me a life not suffering
You show me a mind not hurting
Ahhh… you ain’t of the pain I’m feeling
You ain’t of the line I’m walking
You ain’t of the words I’m talking
You ain’t of the coin I’m scraping
Ahhh… you see a strange man all prancing
You see a soul lost in mad dancing
You look into his eyes they’re reeling
You think you see me all bleeding
Ahhh… you walk on that side and keep walking
You don’t dare smile when I’m talking
You swim in my sea, you’re sinking
You think you know me keep thinking
Ahhh… you don’t drink the poison that I’m drinking
You don’t eat the glass that I’m chewing
You don’t see your life all dying
You don’t see your kids eyes crying
Ahhh… you don’t know this life it ain’t fixing
You don’t hear this heart it ain’t beating
You don’t know this mind it ain’t thinking
You don’t live this life, it ain’t living.
