Hello chaos my old friend
We finally got there in the end
I found a loophole in the law
I stumbled then I crawled through
Never frightened that that noose would tighten
I felt enlightened
My senses heightened
Yet all this time you`ve been inclined
To watch me from the sidelines
Miles from the frontline
Hoping that some sniper
Had picked off this magic piper
To shoot the messenger
That`s what`s obsessing ya
You only kick me when I`m down
When I get up you come around
You come around, you say I`m great
You`re only twenty years too late
Well where I lived
Don`t make no bones
Was several feet below a stone
Far from appalled
I was enthralled
The snake that slithered learned to crawl
Through the quagmire of my mislaid plans
That backfired
I felt enlightened
My senses heightened
You called me up
To wish me luck
To let me know this business sucks
Let`s change it
Let`s rearrange it
So why do I get the feeling
That there`s something you`re concealing?
That it`s a put on
You scratch your foot on
You only kick me when I`m down
When I get up you come around
You come around, you say I`m great
You`re only twenty years too late
Did I do something to make you hate me?
It`s funny how you thought you`d break me
