Oh

I got arrested

in the dark of the night

the cop got restless

as he read me

my rights he told me

"im always envious

of those that i jail

if i got locked up

nobody'd come

to help me post bail"

and i said "oh!"

went to a party

on the side of a hill

met three latinas

who had gotten their fill

they told me

"nobody ever gets us down

on our knees simply

to help us take

a load off our feet"

and i said "oh!"

and im never sure

what i'm living for

but it's always on my mind

someone comes along

always proves me wrong

think im gonna be fine

i picked a pocket

just to give it all

back took out the license

left the money in tact

the man said

"i wanna thank you"

and i had to ask why

"That was the old me

I was living a lie"

and i said "oh!"

riding the subway

with the scent of her hair

she took out a toothbrush

started using it there

she explained

"im always sure

today's the day

i will die

i wanna look good

if i get to look god

in the eye&quo

t; and i said "oh!"

and im never sure

what i'm living for

but it's always on my mind

someone comes along

always proves me wrong

think im gonna be fine

we get lost

in the back of our minds

got nothing to burn but time

time time everybody's

got the love

but they keep it inside

met an acquaintance

we were reintroduced

with more in common

than we had in our youth

she told me

"you look the same"

i said

"i'm now a new man"

he asked me

"how does that work"

"i started giving a damn"

and i said "oh!"
