What Do I Know?

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Right foot red and left hand blue I'm tangled up when you get through Don't know what the hell to do 'Cause you tie me up and you tie me down There's no way out of this dark town And you're all painted like a clown With a permanent frown [Pre-Chorus] And there's this cold breath on my collar There's the dime and there's the dollar But I'll make the call, I'll take the fall, climb the castle wall I'm my mother's only daughter [Chorus] And what do I know? Tell me, tell me What do I know? I'm listening now [Verse 2] You ask me "What's the real return?" As parades pass by and bridges burn And I say, "Nothing ventured, nothing's earned" It's what I learned 'Cause every complicated step She'd be watching from stage left And when I'd fall she'd talk me through the rest [Chorus] 'Cause what did I know? Tell me, tell me What did I know? I'm listening now [Verse 3] The party's never over here There's music blasting in our ears And nothing's ever really clear But the ones we hold dear And so it goes until the end We will break and break if we don't bend And there's one more clown that someone sends And it starts again [Chorus] 'Cause what do I know? Tell me, tell me What do I know? I'm listening now What do I know? Tell me, tell me What do I know? 'Cause I'm listening now
