Slide through the back door with your life strings attached
(I can see the heavens on my back)
Can see for miles, open your eyes
(I can't see what I'm living 'cause my head's so high)
Slip through the back door with my head in your hands
(Well, I might not see the morning, but I got no plans)
Can see for miles and I can open my eyes
(Well, I can't see what I'm living for, head is so high)
Sway slow
Stay low
Hey mama, take your cool hand away from me
Take it away and let me be
Hey mama, take your cool love away from me
Take it away and let me bleed in peace
Slide through the back door with your life strings attached
(I can walk the heavens on my back)
I can see for miles and miles, ain't that grand?
(Well, I might not see the morning, but I got no plans)
Slip through the back door with my head in your hands
(Well, I've seen so many things that my mom won't believe)
This life sure is weird, but what else have I to know?
(Well, I've done so many things that my folks don't wanna know about)
Sway slow
Stay low
Hey mama, take your cool hand away from me
Take it away and let me be
Hey mama, take your cool love away from me
Take it away and let me bleed in peace
Life sure is weird, but what else have I to know?
