We all come in from the cold

We come down from the wire

An everybody warms themselves

to a different fire

When sometimes we get burned

You'd think sometime we'd learn

The one you love is the one

that should take you higher

You ain't got no one

you better go back out and find her



Just like children hidin' in a closet

Can't tell what's goin' on outside

Sometimes we're so far off the beaten track

We'll get a taken for a ride

By a parlor trick or some words of wit

A hidden hand up a sleeve

To think that the one you love

could hurt you now

Is a little hard to believe

But everybody darlin' sometimes

bites the hand that feeds



When I look around

everybody always brings me down

Well is it them or me well I just can't see

But there ain't no peace to be found

But if some one really cared,

well they'd take the time to spare

A moment to try and understand

another one's despair

Remember in this game we call life

that no one said it's fair

Get down with yo' bad self

Alright



I've come to know the cold

I think of it as home

When there ain't enough of me to go around

I'd rather be left alone

But if I call you out of habit I'm out of love and

I gotta have it

Would you give it to me if I fit your needs

Like when we both knew we had it

But now the damage's done

and we're back out on the run

Funny how ev'rything was roses

when we held on to the guns

Just because you're winnin'

don't mean yo
