Drop It (An Old Disguise)
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.
I've been trying to run my life
Using every trick I knew.
I say anything anytime to anybody.
I do what I always wanted to.
But that's no way to keep me happy.
It's an old disguise.
I may be wealthy but I can still be wise
Drop my old disguise.
I can't seem to end my day
Until I feel something's said and done.
A flashy guitar or a hot new car
Or at least a little fun.
But that's no way to keep me healthy.
It's an old disguise.
I may be wealthy but I can still be wise
Drop my old disguise.
Drop it. Drop it. It's an old disguise.
Drop it. Drop it. Open up your eyes.
Drop it. Drop it. You ain't got nine lives
Drop it. Drop it.
