Half of me is tied up in our life But half of me keeps one eye on the knife Called upon by spirits from the golden cemetery I'm living in a fantasy that I'm ever cutting free Of that half of me who is timid and afraid But half of me wants to leave the life we've made And go out blazing trails in a haze of rock and roll But my other half she laughs like it's a joke Fighting for the soul Of half of me – that is all she ever gets But half of me knows that half of me regrets
Ripping through the years without a hope of happiness But failure never held me any fears until I had success But half of me deserves everything he gets Half of me is ready to retire But half of me is still riven with a fire Driving me to conjure up the pa**ions of the past Undignified and faithless to the last and so it has to be That half of me is forever running free From half of me
