He's trying hard to keep control and lead the way
He's finding all the perfect words to say to me
I'm climbing stairs with only one thing on my mind
To kick a habit of lost opportunity
It's only natural to want what doesn't come
I swiped away all of the pawns under my thumb
But like the ending of a one act play
The curtain closes and the actors run away
And I'm up against the wall
Wondering why I came at all
Yes, I'm up against the wall
Trying to disappear
oh
I look around and watch the world as it goes by
Wondering how small, how small am I
He makes a gesture to distract me from a thought
It goes against most everything that I've been taught
It's when you wake up and you can't go back to sleep
It's when you wonder 'bout the company you keep
It's when you wake up in the middle of your life
And you just can't cut it with the dull end of a knife
And I'm up against the wall
Wondering why I came at all
Yes, I'm up against the wall
Trying to disappear
oh
You know, the way you're walkin' makes you seem larger than life
You turn the key to door, you're turning me on
My mind spins high above the world
That's the way I feel
It's only natural to want what doesn't come
I swiped away all of the pawns under my thumb
But like the ending of a one act play
The curtain closes and the actors run away
And I'm up against the wall
Wondering why I came at all
Yes, I'm up against the wall
Trying to disappear
ohHer name is Bobbie Lee and she´s movin´
she´s gotta make a dream come true
some might say she took a dead wrong turn
she took the only road she knew
there´s nothin' gonna stop or stall her
and luck is on her side tonight
they're pullin´over to the curb to call her
man, she loves these city lights
she says
So what's the difference I gotta live
I gotta be somebody
I wanna go where the apples grow
And all I need is the money
Hey mister, smile and buy my time
And I don't want you feelin' funny
Just think of Bobbie Lee like a busy bee
Gettin' by by sellin' honey
So what's the difference I gotta live...
