They ask me things I do not know
Absurd and unholy like dirty snow
I prayed with my head bowed down so low in mourning
And what did I find?
Shout for joy and shout for gold
Let the whole wide world wither and shiver in the cold
Take all the life that your little love-hand can hold and
Fake it till you make it to the company town at the end of the rainbow
5, 10
Let me be free
15, 20
Get me on me knees
Winning - hide and seek
Hand me a bible and give me a little sleep
Sell me some snake-oil potion to darken my dreams
So when my eyes awake they'll know very well what they see
Oh holy doctor don't do me wrong
5, 10
Let me be free
15, 20
Get me on me knees
Winning - hide and seek
Oh lord, how long will you look on
While I'm clothed in confusion
Beasties stir my mind into a soupy song
When will I be returned?
5, 10
Let me be free
15, 20
Get me on me knees
Winning - hide and seek
