I can't tell you, mother, why i feel this way People pa**ing through my life, i let them slip away Standing in the bright light, let the music play Better in the spotlight You gotta turn my night to day Lead me to the water You can't make me drink Dressed like a renegade, faster than you think Can't put down these feelings rising to the boil Colours of a rattlesnake, ready to uncoil Better by far this way Turn, i want you to turn Turn my night to day You yourself set me on this course when i was a child Walking down these men streets like a boy gone wild Programmed for survival All will be revealed The child is father to the man I guess my fate is sealed Better by far this way Burn my blues Burn my blues away Like a renegade
