I got outta town
Like I knew I should
I got outta town
Like I knew I would
But when I close my eyes
And the dawn don't come
I think to myself
What a disgrace I've become

(Chorus 1)

But she won't fail me
Cause she's my friend
And she won't rat me out
I'm a boy to her eye
And she won't fail me
Even when she hates me

I use to think a lot
But now I watch the grain
I use to fall in love
With shit like subway trains
And although my liberty
Has been taken away now
I take it all, I take it all day by day

(Chorus 2)

But she won't fail me
Cause she's my friend
And she won't rat me out
I'm a boy to her eye
And she won't fail me
Even when she hates me
Even when she hates me

I get the fallen down
About twice a week
Say I'm all fucked up
(all fucked-up)
I know talk is cheap
But when I close my eyes
And the dawn don't come by
I think to myself
What a disgrace I've become

(Repeat 2nd chorus)
