All my life trouble follows me like a mystery girl

And I’ve been chasing round the memory like a mystery girl

I’ve been getting lost searching my soul all around this town

I took a wrong turn in growing up and it’s freaking me out



Back at school it never made much sense

Now I pay but I can pay attention

Teaches me the hardest lessons of my life

These turned to dark, yes, but that’s the way it goes

Sometimes I must regress these

Sex, drugs & violence

English, math & science,

Safety of numbers

Give me, give me danger

What little wanna be an imbecil?

But Jesus made me that way



All my life I’ve been running wild like a runaway

Where did that magic mean like a subway



Back at home it never made much sense

Now I pay but I can pay attention

Teaches me the hardest lessons of my life

These turned to dark, yes, but that’s the way it goes

Sometimes I must regress these

Sex, drugs & violence

English, math & science,

Safety of numbers

Give me, give me danger
