I've stood on a wire With no desire To ever go a certain way Looked down on the world Never tried to be heard Real life just had to wait When I tried working It just didn't seem to work out So I tried college But I just wound up dropping out I've put my life on a shelf While everyone around me found happiness and wealth A tourist among my family and friends They all want to know what goes on inside my head They're all happy in homes of their own While I have nothing to call my own I lived between right and wrong for far too long
