Sticks and Stones

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But words may shape me

I'm not crazy

Stuck in bed or in my head

A road not taken

Left me shaken

All is lost, and what's the cost?

You state it plainly

And change me greatly

Know your part, and steal my heart

You're safe in keeping

Just as fleeting

Oh, we'll work it out (we'll work it out)

We'll work it out (we'll work it out)

We'll work it out (we'll work it out)

We'll work it out (we'll work it out)

Whoa, it's over now

The world keeps turning

I'm still burning out

Yeah, the time has come but

I'm still here, and you're just having fun

Whoa, it's over now

The world keeps spinning

I'm still tearing up

Yeah, only time will tell but

You're still kicking

While I'm just stuck in

Hell

(Ohh) we're too wise, no compromise

You hold her steady

When you're ready

Leaps and bounds, my sordid frowns

Your head to hammer

Did I stammer?

When it's clear, I grind your gears

I'm dearly parted, and barely started

And wounded cries and blinded eyes

You feel the breeze dispense with ease

Yo, we'll work it out (we'll work it out)

We'll work it out (we'll work it out)

We'll work it out (we'll work it out)

We'll work it out (we'll work it out)

Whoa, it's over now

The world keeps turning

I'm still burning out

Yeah, the time has come but

I'm still here and you're just having fun

Whoa, it's over now

The world keeps spinning

I'm still tearing up

Yeah, only time will tell but

You're still kicking

While I'm just stuck in

Hell
