  • Sometimes I get the strangest feelings
    I want to bust your head in
    I've got the whole world freaking
    I'm just the kind of guy
    All around the world
    They've got their hands up screaming
    Can't the gambles fly
    No one knows for sure

    I've got the portrait hanging around
    In the picture frame
    In the halfway house on life
    We're not the same

    Time draws a narrow streak
    I'm just your average freak
    Made a deal with life
    I'm known around the world

    I'm not the one with the open wound
    You're just protection for the righteous kind
    I'm not the one with an open wound
    You're just protection for the righteous kind
    Righteous kind...

    Came of a world of trouble
    I've got the hopeful freed
    Made a deal with life
    I know that life is cruel
    My cataclystic thoughts
    The mother of my dreams
    Your plan betrayed my smoke screen
    I'm wrapped around your screams

    There's a portrait hanging around
    In the picture frame
    In the halfway house on life
    And I'm not the same

    I'm not the one with the open wound
    You're just protection for the righteous kind
    I'm not the one with an open wound
    You're just protection for the righteous kind
