Crossed Wires - Hoodoo Gurus

Spread out your wings, let’s see you fly

What does it take to get you high?

Not something money ever buys…

Damage control is bought to bear

With cracks appearing everywhere

You’re too far gone to even care

You’re in a mind set

You’ve got your wires crossed

Are even these words lost on you?(oh, yeah)

One of these days I hope you learn

How candles are supposed to burn

You act as if that’s no concern (of yours)

You’ve taken a wrong turn

You’re stuck in a tailspin

What good has your life been to you?

(oh, yeah)

How can you shake your head (oh, yeah)

But when you wake up dead

Will that do you?

Could that cure you?

(oh yeah)

And all your friends say, (oh, yeah)

«It had to end this way.»

You couldn’t face it

Was all wasted on you

Nothing they could do

There has to be a better way

To make believe that you’re o.

k

You’re not the first to be afraid

There is no shame, (aren't you afraid?)
