James

Say
Put yourself in the picture up on the wall
Don't look too close
Maybe don't look at all
It's family fortune
Taking the blame
Whole lot of savings
Gone up in flames yeah
Picture yourself on the street today
Crowd of people turning away
Crowd of people who weren't alive
Say you're lucky just to survive
As the plane comes down on cannery row
I've found a city
Where nobody knows him
But james well he went bad
He went bad
He doesn't surprise me at all
James is playing doctor again
Gotta get him off the dioxin
He tells me i'm gonna be alright
Stay out of mirrors
And out of the sunlight
Well unshackle the good times
I really hope you can find my
James well he went bad
He went bad
He doesn't surprise me at all
