DOIN TIME

house full of noise Again you’ve killed my joy You play your silly games I’m smilin’ through the pain For me to feel great I need my own space Gotta set you straight Need my own place (layering: hold note sweeping upward) Had me locked down, doin time— Like a prison yard, no crime (explosive short laugh) But I slipped Slipped out your grip I fell out of your hand I didn’t deserve the reprimand You—you lost your prize I dropped the disguise You should go away Your textin’ ain’t gon’ sway It won’t work this time I’ve already done my time For me to feel great I—I need my own space Gotta set you straight Need my own place Had me locked down, doin time— Like a prison yard but no crime But I slipped Slipped out your grip I fell out of your hand I didn’t deserve the reprimand You—You lost your prize I dropped the disguise Turned you down Gave you up Tuned you out Now what’s up Had me locked down, doin time Like a prison yard but no crime But I slipped Slipped out your grip I fell out of your hand I didn’t deserve the reprimand You—you lost your prize I dropped the disguise Dropped the disguise Mask came down I—I see with clear eyes.
