lyrics
Was it low, as low as low can get? Was it slow, boy now I don’t know yet?
When I die, well now I surely may, Will things just keep on going the same?
I’m a fool, in my heart. In my mind, well lord what makes me smart?
If it is, well if I do, well tell all those mother-----, shame on you.
Well is it strange, that I feel this way?
I’ll pick it all up the very next day.
Well in my mind and in my heart
is what makes this man stand apart.
Do my questions, disrupt your soul? My reputation, requiring you to be bold.
When my mind, my heart don’t feel so good, just put that dirty mother down six feet for good.
Well is it strange, that I feel this way?
I’ll pick it all up the very next day.
Well in my mind and in my heart,
is what makes this man stand apart,
from all the others,
it’s what makes this man stand apart.
When I die, well now I surely may, Will things just keep on going the same?
I’m a fool, in my heart. In my mind, well lord what makes me smart?
If it is, well if I do, well tell all those mother-----, shame on you.
Well is it strange, that I feel this way?
I’ll pick it all up the very next day.
Well in my mind and in my heart
is what makes this man stand apart.
Do my questions, disrupt your soul? My reputation, requiring you to be bold.
When my mind, my heart don’t feel so good, just put that dirty mother down six feet for good.
Well is it strange, that I feel this way?
I’ll pick it all up the very next day.
Well in my mind and in my heart,
is what makes this man stand apart,
from all the others,
it’s what makes this man stand apart.
