Sympathize

It ain't no jive

I was burnin' alive

Whenever you walked in the room

It happened so quickly

I was feelin' so sickly

Like a lover who lost his muse

The sharks in the tank

The man in the bank

He wants my money to loan

I can't understand

What the hell is his plan

I ain't even got a home

Ain't got a home

The girl on the street

With holes in her feet

Looks through eyes of a clown

She don't look at me

Just feelin' kinda sad

So I just walk around

I reassess

She's down on her luck

She's reading a book of lies

I don't know when I'll be comin' home, baby

But I sure can sympathize

Can sympathize

Can sympathize

Angels spread their wings

On all the dirty things

You do

She drops to the floor

Her head's by the door

Her bible is by her side

Heaven is callin'

The new world is fallin'

And she ain't got a single person left

To confide

No one to confide

No one to confide

Oh, to confide

I sympathize

Can sympathize
