The Meadow
Hed Pe · Broke [2000]
Oh, ohhhh
I don't ask why, I just fall into the meadow
I close my eyes and I wait to die
Yes, I am a liar
Yes, I am a sinner
Please forgive my broken soul
But I've got nowhere else to go
They made this world so hard
If I had somewhere else to go
I could be a star like you
Special like you
A star like you
Special like you
And all those picture frames surround you
I saw you in France
All those busters hang around you
I asked you to dance
I can't take you home tonight
No, I can't be your man
I know why you here tonight
You in a fight with your man
But I've got nowhere else to go.
They made the world so hard
If I had somewhere else to go
I could be a star like you
Special like you
A star like you
Special like you
(repeat)
I don't ask why, I just fall into the meadow
I close my eyes and I wait to die
Yes, I am a liar
Yes, I am a sinner
Please forgive my broken soul
But I've got nowhere else to go
They made this world so hard
If I had somewhere else to go
I could be a star like you
Special like you
A star like you
Special like you
And all those picture frames surround you
I saw you in France
All those busters hang around you
I asked you to dance
I can't take you home tonight
No, I can't be your man
I know why you here tonight
You in a fight with your man
But I've got nowhere else to go.
They made the world so hard
If I had somewhere else to go
I could be a star like you
Special like you
A star like you
Special like you
(repeat)
