He's dead drunk asleep on the side of the road (No one sees him)
Or passed out on pills in a strangers room (She don't know him)
Don't tell his sweetheart he's not comming home.
Ladies and gentleman, this is my blood.
Yeah!
My brother's eyes are the same color as mine.
Nobody knows if i see it
when he says
'Brother, look at the shape I'm in,
You've got to help me out...'
Or when he says
'There's still time left to make amends:
You're in my trust, you're in my blood,
I just need a friend... and... I need
fifty bucks to pay off some old debts (You can spare it)'.
Or, 'Cover for me while I sort out some shit (Just this one time)'.
He lies,
when he opens his mouth,
the truth never comes out,
but I believe it all
when my brother says
'Oh have you ever seen the sape I'm in?
It's all because of you'
And he says
'Don't ever try to make amends.
You're into my thoughts. You're in my blood.
Even in my dreams:
He sleeps through the night, everything is alright
and his teeth are all white and his face fits the type.
Evrything he says it's true.
His girlfriend, she loves him too.
But his head starts to hurt,
and his tie isn't straight.
He goes to work early
and gets home so late,
lies down in his room ('Go to bed she'll be home soon)
But he wakes with a start and she isn't in bed,
so he flies down the stairs past the guy from that band
('Was he wearing her perfume?').
It's all because of you,
when the mirror says
'Just look at the shape you're in,
I offer you no forgiveness, not even in your dreams'
and thr mirror says
'It's far too late to make amends,
You've got nowhere left to run'.
When the mirror breaks,
I know which side you're on:
You sleep through the night
everything is alright and your teeth are all white
and your face fits the type.
Everythingyou say it's true.
Nothing's real, i know which side you're on.
Am I on the right side?
