Nice Folks

You're night without an end
A room without a door
Your finger on my lips
So I will speak no more

But surely did I say
The day was gonna come
And I would find the break
And make my feet to run

It’s the same old nice folks bringin' me down
And it's the same old nice folks watchin’ me drown
And it's the same old tight rope draggin' me round
But they don't really see that
They gonna say I went mad

To be loved, you gotta be cruel
You don't agree? You be a fool
The number is high, know where I stand
I know what you are, do you know who I am?

Take all the dollars, take all the cents
Sold your soul to the businessmen
Now you gotta be good, you gotta behave
You gotta play nice, you gotta create

The water is wide, water is deep
I pray to the lord, your soul to keep
The endless night, sink or swim
You ready or not, it's happenin'

And it's the same old nice folks bringin’ me down
And it’s the same old nice folks watchin' me drown
And it’s the same old tight rope draggin' me round and round
But they don't really see that

And it's the same old nice folks bringin’ me down
And it's the same old nice folks watchin' me drown
And it's the same old tight rope draggin' me round
But they don't really see that
They gonna say I went mad

Do you realize, when you look into my eyes?
It's you and I
It's you and I forever

Do you realize, when you look into my eyes?
It's you and I
It's you and I forever

Do you realize, when you look into my eyes?
It's you and I
It's you and I forever

Do you realize, when you look into my eyes?
It's you and I
It's you and I forever
