Son, you've gotta way to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't knowSon, you'd better take it all
They'll tell you what they know
But they won't showOh, I've got somethin' in my throat
I need to be alone
While I sufferSon, you've got a way to kill
They're pickin' on you still
But they don't knowSon, you'd better wait to shine
They'll tell you what is yours
But they take mineOh, I've got somethin' in my throat
I need to be alone
While I sufferOh, there's a hole inside my boat
I need to stay afloat
For the summer longOh
(Left my sweet soul)
I've got something in my throat
(Beneath the bedclothes)
I need to be alone
(I'm not comin' down)
While I sufferOh
(Walls have ears)
There's a hole inside my boat
(But no one hears)
I need to stay afloat
(When nobody's around)
For the summerThey'll tell you where to go
But they won't know
