Well, I imbibe at my own pace
But the room don't wanna stay in place
Was it something I said, something I ate?
My legs don't wanna cooperate
You said, "You're going much too fast"
You said, "You ain't gonna last"
But it ain't easy, we all need a guiding hand
No, it ain't easy to understand
Here I am again, walking sideways in the rain
Here I am again, missed my station on the train
So set me up down at St. Joe's
Hurt pride and a bloody nose
♪
Two steps backwards, one step forward
I woke up drunk in a hospital ward
A plastic wristband where they printed my name
The meds don't help with the imminent shame
But it ain't easy, we all need a place to go
But it ain't easy and it shows
Here I am again, walking sideways in the rain
Here I am again, missed my station on the train
So set me up down at St. Joe's
Hurt pride and a bloody nose
♪
My best ideas come to me when I set the spirits free
My best ideas disappear if I can't just let it be
The best of times, the worst of crimes, the stories all the same
My best ideas come to me when I set the spirits free
But it ain't easy to understand

Here I am again, walking sideways in the rain

Hurt pride and a bloody nose
My best ideas come to me when I set the spirits free
And you know that's just the way it goes
