I think I tried to wake up too fast
From what must have been a two-year nap
Then I hit my head
And it was back to bed for a while
I woke up 24 in Texas
Breaking a sweat to expand my nexus
When it occurred to me
Maybe I shouldn't be
Making excuses to cope so liberally
They say, "Some things just don't wash out"
But I've been dying to know what getting clean is all about
And now years have gone by
But it's still stuck in my mind
Some things just don't wash out
For too long now, I've sung the same sad song
But I didn't even write it, I was just singing along
But the problem with change is it's hard
Like finding lively conversation in graveyards
I hit the nail on the head
Drove it straight through my hand
I have martyred myself in a scheme not-so-grand
We're deserving of men left to rot in a rag
Haven't done shit with my life
My skin is starting to sag
You drink too much
Your mind's unfit
You really can't afford to live like this
You're almost there, but still so far
Everyone
They say, "Some things just don't wash out"
But I've been dying to know what getting clean is all about
And now, years have gone by
But it's still stuck in my mind
Some things just don't wash out
You've gotta dig (deep, deep, deep)
You've got to dig (deep, deep, deep)
You've gotta dig (deep, deep, deep)
You've got to dig (deep, deep, deep)
You've gotta dig (deep, deep, deep)
You've got to dig (deep, deep, deep)
You've gotta dig (deep, deep, deep)
You've gotta dig, you've gotta dig
They say, "Some things just don't wash out"
But I've been dying to know what getting clean is all about
And now, years have gone by
But it's still stuck in my mind
Some things just don't wash out
(Some things just don't wash out)
Some things just don't wash out
(Some things just don't wash out)
And now, years have gone by
And it's still stuck in my mind
Some things just don't wash out
