Place I Know / Kid Like You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The place I know is several days away
What I say I’m bound to
Is try and beat my old score
What I do is now
Being in what is bearing out
What in itself, in itself
Pull in its wealth
In vain, square time
Is trying to be inside itself
Your friend did something that put me on fire
It sure could, it sure would
Put this kind of kid
We’re up on some kind of hill
Where we ended up
‘Cause your friend did something that put me on fire
A kid like you could never understand
And men like me are never understood, then
A kid like you could never understand
A kid like you could never understand that
