The Way It Is!

Let me tell you about the state I'm in
 I got my life held together with a safety pin
 Had a vision back in 93' when I wrote a little song about a lemon tree
 I could be bad i could be good some things get misunderstood
 This is now and that was then
 I never went back again
 I had a goldfish and a love that died
 I got a heart beating faster on the darker side
 Want to find a place to hide my bones with an orange guitar and a microphone
 Jack was nimble jack was quick Jack took out the candlestick
 He touched the fire and felt the pain
 And he never went back again
 Let me tell you about the faith I've found
 Got a train ride and a ticket when I'm heaven bound
 Won't you let me take you by the hand and I'll lead you from the platform to the promised land
 Chase your tail or chase your goals who knows what the future holds
 Hold your breath and count to ten but never go back again
 Let me tell you about the state I'm in
 I got my life held together with a safety pin
 Want to find a place to hide my bones with an orange guitar and a microphone
 It could be bad i could be good some things get misunderstood
 That was then and this is now its gotta come good some how
 It could be bad i could be good some things get misunderstood
 That was then and this is now its gotta come good some how
 That's just the way it is
