  • Anne you can't hide
    You know we'll find your
    It's a matter where pride flies out the window
    I never got the weight off the ground
    I just forgot what's up and what's down
    How many get the way I feel now
    There's no regret
    There's just the sense that
    Nothing is coming my way
    There's so much that happened today
    The Gods of the city have called my name
    It means more to them than it means to me somehow
    I left my body
    I left my fate
    But it is so hard to keep away now
    Nothing is final because it seems all the while
    There wasn't anything for me
    I always faked my smile
    There's so many careless angels responsible for me
    They give me disease
    They give me a pain in my neck to feed off me
    Saying pay us the cost and we'll be gone
    Now they shut my eyes and I can't see now
    These are the times I was scared of
    These are the fares I pushed out of my way
    Now they've come back here to haunt me
    It's plain to see who the winner and loser will be Writer/s: JOHN FRUSCIANTE
