Lyrics
They called me the idiot My hands were on fire Blood flowed from my fingers every time I pressed the wires Exiled to the attic, out of harm's way I hit that bow and arrow till I hit the hay I got a suitcase full of energy I’m following the wind, old enough to know better young enough to join in Lived opposite a graveyard, you could hear the hookers cry: "You never paid me last week - so you ain't gettin' nothin’ tonight!"
