Sympathize

It ain’t no jive 
I was burnin’ alive 
Whenever you walked in the room
It happened so quickly 
I was feelin’ so sickly 
Like a lover who lost his muse

The sharks in the tank 
Oh the man in the bank
He wants my money to loan
I can’t understand 
What the [bad word] is his plan 
I ain’t even got a home
Ain’t got a home

The girl on the street 
With holes in her feet 
Looks through the eyes of a clown
She don’t look mad 
She's feelin’ kinda sad 
So I just walk around

I reassess
She’s down on her luck
She’s reading a book of lies
I don’t know when I’ll [bad word]  home, baby 
But I sure can sympathize
Can sympathize
Can sympathize

Angels spread their wings
On all the dirty things 
You do

She drops to the floor 
Her head’s by the door 
Her bible is by her side
Heaven is callin’ 
The new world is fallin’ 
And she ain’t got a single person left 
To confide
No one to confide
No one to confide
Oh ton confide

I sympathize
Can sympathize
