Today I woke up late, but not enough
Don't wanna feel I'm on the wrong way anymore
Today I saw things happens from the window
I've got a nasty soul the devil would love to take to hell
Today I took off all my masks
And met the world face to face
I took off my getaway shoes
'Cos there's no place to go
I've got the time on my side
And then?
Do something new
Shit! Do what ya got or so give up
There's nothing wrong if you assume your lack of talent
I ain't got the truth at hand to show you
Mr. Mist left a sign on my brown
He said
Go and be on your way
I run
Sometimes I walk barefoot on pins'n needles
I run
I'll run'till I drop dead
I'm the rust in the gearing
I can't take your son from napalm's arms
But I can wipe away your tears of pain
This is what I see through my dark glasses
Take my hand but this time do not cry
I may be in heaven or in El Salvador
