Lyrics

I FEEL AS IF I AM A MONGREL DOG
OUT ON AN EMPTY STREET
IN THE COLD RAIN AND FOG

I FEEL AS IF I AM THE ONLY TREE
OUT ON THE AFRICAN SAVANNAH
AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE

I KEEP TELLING MYSELF
THIS TOO WILL PASS
I DON'T KNOW

I KEEP TELLING MYSELF
THIS TOO WILL PASS
I DON'T KNOW

I FEEL LIKE MOLASSAS POURING SLOW
AND THOUGH I AM A YOUNG MAN
I FEEL AS IF I AM ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD

AND I KNOW THESE FEELINGS
WILL SOMEDAY SOON SUBSIDE
BUT OH, IN THE MEANTIME
HOW THEY BURN AND BURN INSIDE

I KEEP TELLING MYSELF
THIS TOO WILL PASS
I DON'T KNOW
