Lyrics

Oh yeah Well I could see it, feel it The spirit as it was leaving my body No, it would not stay for a while I turned and watched it crawl away So far away, I could not see that far And all those things I held so sacred (for every goddamn thing) That's failed me, they betray me These pins, these needles They never leave me This crooked cross is bleeding deeply Let the wine fill my veins (momma, won't somebody get me high) Bring the time to change my mind (momma, please let me forget) Wash away this dirty soul This dirty soul of mine The curtain it slowly closes The players how they quickly change around you Not a trace, huh, no familiar face Only the soundtrack and the bruises we keep to ourselves (mmm, yeah) I reach out and I wait forever I speak out and my thoughts die My cross is crooked My spirit is denied (yeah, oh) Let the smoke close my eyes (momma, won't somebody get me high) Bring the time to change my mind (show me the way, baby) Wash away this dirty soul (let me in, yeah) This dirty soul of mine (yeah, let me in, uh huh) See this man is waiting (I'm tired of waiting, yeah) In the park, it's raining so hard (in the park it's raining) Wash away this dirty soul (uh, yeah, ahh, yeah) This dirty soul of mine (ahh) Why can't you feel me? (yeah, ahh) Some say (some say, some say, some say) The world's dying (the world is dying) Nothing stays the same (some say) Nothing good remains (nothing good remains, no) No one ever stays (nothing stays the same) Feelings always fade away (no one ever stays) People change and lives are destroyed Well, I will never walk with you again Never again will we share the days my friend Oh, my friend Oh, my sweet friend [? something in Spanish here] Let the smoke close my eyes Bring the time to change my mind Wash away this soul Wash away this soul
