Baby, when you leave Don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothin' I can't use nothin' Take care into the hall And if you see my friends Tell them I'm fine And using nothin' Almost burned out my eyes Threw my ears down to the floor I didn't see nothin' I didn't hear nothin' I stood there like a block of stone Knowing all I had to know And nothin' more But man, that's nothin' As brothers our troubles are Locked in each others arms And you better pray That they never find you Your back ain't strong enough For burdens doublefold They'd crush you down Down into nothin' Being born is going blind And bowing down a thousand times To echoes strung On pure temptation Sorrow and solitude These are the precious things And the only words That are worth remembering
