Somethings Don't Wash Out

I think I tried to wake up too fast

From what must have been a two year nap

Then I hit my head and it was back to bed for a while

I woke up twenty-four in Texas

Breaking a sweat to expand my Nexus

When it occurred to me, maybe I shouldn't be

Making excuses to cope so liberally

They say some things just don't wash out

But I've been dying to know what getting clean is all about

And now years have gone by

But it's still stuck in my mind

(Some things just don't wash out)

For too long now I've sung the same sad song

But I didn't even write it; I was just singing along

But the problem with change is it's hard

Like finding lively conversation in graveyards

I hit the nail on the head, drove it straight through my hand

I have martyred myself in a scheme not so grand

More deserving of men left to rot in a rag

Haven't done shit with my life and my skin is starting to sag

(You drink too much, your mind's unfit)

(You really can't afford to live like this)

(You're only almost there, but still so far)

Everyone? (Everyone!)

They say some things just don't wash out

But I've been dying to know what getting clean is all about

And now years have gone by

But it's still stuck in my mind

Some things just don't wash out

You've gotta dig (Deep! Deep! Deep!)

You've got to dig (Deep! Deep! Deep!)

You've gotta dig (Deep! Deep! Deep!)

You've got to dig! (Deep! Deep! Deep!)

You've gotta dig (Deep! Deep! Deep!)

You've got to dig (Deep! Deep! Deep!)

You've gotta dig (Deep! Deep! Deep!)

You've gotta dig! You've gotta dig!

They say some things just don't wash out

But I've been dying to know what getting clean is all about

And now years have gone by

But it's still stuck in my mind

Some things just don't wash out

(Some things just don't wash out)

Some things just don't wash out

(Some things just don't wash out)

Now years have gone by

And it's still stuck in my mind

(Some things just don't wash out)
