When I was clean and I felt free
It wasn't so long as we make it to be
And now I'm learning what to make
Of all my wreckage

Hangin' round the drug store
I am waiting on a line again and again
I am waiting on a line
But it never ends
And it wasn't always this way
But no part of me is etched in stone
But you can't help crashing
When you're coming down all alone

(Chorus)

You've gotta run and run
Until something burns out your sun
I've gotta stop the things we do
I gotta get myself to walk clean with or without
You've gotta run and run
Until something burns out your sun
I've gotta stop the things I do
Gotta get myself to walk clean
With or without you
With or without you

You were my best friend
But now I've gotta say goodbye
Cause my best friend
Wouldn't drop me down from the high

And if I'm dirty I must apologize
If I've come alive
Cause this 5 o'clock shadow
Is coming way before 5
And it's right before my eyes
Right before my eyes

(Chorus)

So she said "you better stay off the rooftops if you,
If you've gotta hide from the sky"
She said "you better stay off the rooftops if you,
If you've gotta hide from the sky"
