I had forgotton theres no lunch for free Those shiny lures had got their hooks in me The car the house the debt the loan the crutch Now I'm just looking for some honesty I'm not asking much Are you living someone elses dream? Do you wake up in that cold sweat scream? Everybody's gotta have their code I'm turning on and tuning in and writing mine my friends I'll see you down the road Oh I've been up, I've been down I've been north I've been south And I've been From the east to the west and my head is a mess and I need A moment to recollect and to figure out how it can be, That I'm a stranger to me You have to live with what you really need You have to earn something to really bleed The path of least resistance makes you numb But when you lean into the wind it doesn't matter where you've been coming from I've been up I've been down I've been north I've been south From the east to the west So my head is a mess And I need A moment to recollect and to figure out how it came to be That I'm a stranger to me I've been up I've been down I've been north I've been south I've been From the east to the west Oh my head is a mess And I see That everybody is changed I've become a stranger to me I'm a stranger to me I'm a stranger to me I'm a stranger to me I'm a stranger to me
