When She's Next To Me

I'm always telling half of the truth

Withholding half of a lie

Like a two piece from Popeye's

I'm battered and fried

'Cause it takes more than before

And can't go nearly as high

I'm putting gas in the tank

But the battery died

Roses are red

And violets too

Through a rosy lens

I see the world anew

When she's next to me

When she's next to me

When she's next to me

You can hate the players

And you can hate the game

We're all peace loving people

There's no one to blame

I think I'm at peace

But I'm a drop of blood inside a leech

Driving fast all day

But the jackpot's further away

You're not paranoid

You're being followed

You don't feel the teeth

You're getting chewed and swallowed

Every time you cry

There's a voice somewhere in the sky

Looking down

And saying, "Jackpot"
