When I was young, I was so full of fear I hid behind anger, held back the tears It was me against the world, I was sure that I’d win The world fought back, punished me for my sins I felt so alone, so insecure, I blamed you instead and made sure I was heard And they tried to warn me of my evil ways But I couldn’t hear what they had to say
I was wrong, self destruction’s got me again I was wrong, I realized now that I was wrong
And I think about my loves, well I’ve had a few I’m sorry that I hurt them, did I hurt you too I took what I wanted, put my heart on the shelf How can ya love me when you don’t love yourself It was me against the world, I was sure that I’d win The world fought back, punished me for my sins And they tried to warn me of my evil ways But I couldn’t hear what they had to say
I was wrong, self destruction’s got me again I was wrong, I realized now that I was wrong
I grew up fast, I grew up hard Something was wrong from the very start I was fighting everybody, I was fighting everything But the only one that I hurt was me I got society’s blood running down my face Somebody help me get outta this place How could someone’s bad luck last so long Until I realized that I was wrong
I was wrong, self destruction’s got me again I was wrong, I realized now that I was wrong
I was wrong, self destruction’s got me again I was wrong, I realized now that I was wrong
Risin’ up, back on the street Did my time, took my chances Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast You change your passion for glory Don’t lose the grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive
It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill to the fight Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his pray in the night And he’s watchin’ us all with the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry They stack the odds ’til we take to the street For we kill with the skill to survive
It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill to the fight Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his pray in the night And he’s watchin’ us all with the eye of the tiger
Risin’ up, straight to the top Have the goods, get the glory Went the distance, now I’m not gonna stop Just a man and his will to survive
It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill to the fight Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his pray in the night And he’s watchin’ us all with the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger
Dark in the city, night is a wire Steam in the subway, earth is a fire Do dodo do dodo do dodo do dodo do doo doo Woman, you want me, give me a sign And catch my breathing even closer behind Do dodo do dodo do dodo do dodo do doo doo
In touch with the ground I’m on the hunt I’m after you Smell like I sound, I’m lost in a crowd And I’m hungry like the wolf Straddle the line in discord and rhyme I’m on the hunt I’m after you Mouth is alive with juices like wine And I’m hungry like the wolf
Stalked in the forest, too close to hide I’ll be upon you by the moonlight side Do dodo do dodo do dodo do dodo do doo doo High blood drumming on your skin, it’s so tight You feel my heat, I’m just a moment behind Do dodo do dodo do dodo do dodo do doo doo
In touch with the ground I’m on the hunt I’m after you Scent and a sound, I’m lost and I’m found And I’m hungry like the wolf Strut on a line, it’s discord and rhyme I howl and I whine, I’m after you Mouth is alive, all running inside And I’m hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground, I break from the crowd I’m on the hunt I’m after you I smell like I sound, I’m lost and I’m found And I’m hungry like the wolf Strut on a line, it’s discord and rhyme I’m on the hunt I’m after you Mouth is alive with juices like wine And I’m hungry like the wolf
Early one mornin’ the sun was shinin’, I was layin’ in bed Wond’rin’ if she’d changed at all If her hair was still red. Her folks they said our lives together Sure was gonna be rough They never did like Mama’s homemade dress Papa’s banquet wasn’t big enough. And I was standin’ on the side of the road Rain fallin’ on my shoes Heading out for the East Coast Lord knows I’ve paid some dues gettin’ through, Tangled up in blue.
She was married when we first met Soon to be divorced I helped her out of a jam, I guess, But I used a little too much force. We drove that car as far as we could Abandoned it out West Split up on a dark sad night Both agreeing it was best. She turned around to look at me As I was walkin’ away I heard her say over my shoulder, “We’ll meet again someday on the avenue,” Tangled up in blue.
I had a job in the great north woods Working as a cook for a spell But I never did like it all that much And one day the ax just fell. So I drifted down to New Orleans Where I happened to be employed Workin’ for a while on a fishin’ boat Right outside of Delacroix. But all the while I was alone The past was close behind, I seen a lot of women But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew Tangled up in blue.
She was workin’ in a topless place And I stopped in for a beer, I just kept lookin’ at the side of her face In the spotlight so clear. And later on as the crowd thinned out I’s just about to do the same, She was standing there in back of my chair Said to me, “Don’t I know your name?” I muttered somethin’ underneath my breath, She studied the lines on my face. I must admit I felt a little uneasy When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe, Tangled up in blue.
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe “I thought you’d never say hello,” she said “You look like the silent type.” Then she opened up a book of poems And handed it to me Written by an Italian poet From the thirteenth century. And every one of them words rang true And glowed like burnin’ coal Pourin’ off of every page Like it was written in my soul from me to you, Tangled up in blue.
I lived with them on Montague Street In a basement down the stairs, There was music in the cafes at night And revolution in the air. Then he started into dealing with slaves And something inside of him died. She had to sell everything she owned And froze up inside. And when finally the bottom fell out I became withdrawn, The only thing I knew how to do Was to keep on keepin’ on like a bird that flew, Tangled up in blue.
So now I’m goin’ back again, I got to get to her somehow. All the people we used to know They’re an illusion to me now. Some are mathematicians Some are carpenter’s wives. Don’t know how it all got started, I don’t know what they’re doin’ with their lives. But me, I’m still on the road Headin’ for another joint We always did feel the same, We just saw it from a different point of view, Tangled up in blue.
Back to the street where we began Feeling as good as lovers can, you know Yeah, we’re feeling so good
Picking up things we shouldn’t read It looks like the end of history as we know It’s just the end of the world
Back to the street where we began Feeling as good as love You could, you can
Into a place, where thoughts can bloom Into a room where it’s nine in the afternoon And we know that it could be And we know that it should And you know that you feel it too ‘Cause it’s nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon You could ’cause you can, so you do We’re feeling so good Just the way that we do When it’s nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon You could ’cause you can, so you do We’re feeling so good
Back to the street Down to our feet Losing the feeling of feeling unique Do you know what I mean?
Back to the place Where we used to say Man, it feels good to feel this way Now I know what I mean
Back to the street, back to the place Back to the room where it all began Back to the room where it all began ‘Cause it’s nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon You could ’cause you can, so you do We’re feeling so good Just the way that we do When it’s nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon You could ’cause you can, so you do We’re feeling so good Just the way that we do When it’s nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon You could ’cause you can, so you do We’re feeling so good Just the way that we do When it’s nine in the afternoon
Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk? I didn’t mean to call you that I can’t remember what was said or what you threw at me Please tell me, please tell me why
My car is in the front yard And I’m sleeping with my clothes on I came in through the window last night and you’re gone Gone
It’s no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy ‘Cause every now and then I kick the living shit out of me The smoke alarm is going off, and there’s a cigarette Still burning, please tell me why
My car is in the front yard And I’m sleeping with my clothes on I came in through the window last night and you’re gone Gone
Please tell me why
My car is in the front yard And I’m sleeping with my clothes on I came in through the window last night and you’re gone Gone
It’s no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy ‘Cause every now and then I kick the living shit out of me Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk? I didn’t mean to call you that
