buy the book
the law was hummin
the streets alive
he's just a child
with an old man's eyes
and when he dissolves
into the street
the knees don't buckle
he just turns to sing
why is the scene up in the sky not a story book?
by the book
buy the book
by the book
just buy the damn book
a real man struggles
through the daily pain
he sees a puzzle
but can't spell the same
what does that mean?
why should i weep?
give me a reason to go back to sleep
is it better just to bend instead of break in two?
why is the scene up in the sky not a story book?
by the book
buy the book
by the book
just buy the damn book
i may recover or sink in deep
and like my mother i'll think of thee
here lies in droves of ecstacy
that i ever want shown to me
is this terrible addiction..........(incoherent mumbling)
by the book
buy the book
by the book
just buy the damn book
