[DeFrancesco / Sly] As the misty morning clears on another day All alone I wait for the final call Bought the big ticket, got to ride that train all alone All hope for freedom is lost and my back's against the wall Flesh and blood is all that remain to get me through it all Dignity stripped away, the human cloak is frail Tagged with a number, the human baggage of the world Living on memories I can't break free I can't escape those wasted days Living on memories I can't escape the wasted days I stare into the mirror but the face I'm seeing is not my own My life flashes by me now, the years they pa** like days
I don't belong in this hardened world Hey, take a look at me, I'm not the same Looking back into the mirror, I hear it whisper my name Living on memories I can't break free I can't escape the wasted days Living on memories I can't escape those wasted days No more pain from the world inside Still can't escape those wasted days Living on memories I can't break free I can't escape the wasted days Living on memories My back's against the wall (Living on memories) Can't escape those wasted days (Living on memories) As the sun rises slowly on another day They've come to take me away
