  • Underline the black around my eyes
    In the dark with heavy chains over my heart
    I just look, don't feel like myself at all
    And I'm just waiting for the ax to fall
    And I'm just waiting for the ax to fall

    I came back so late but it was light
    And they looked me up and down like an alien arrived
    I just walked on by with my old guitar
    And they're still waiting for their lives to start
    And they're still waiting for their lives to start

    I'm not sorry
    I don't think of you that often

    How can I explain, that feeling remains
    When I looked at myself, I was somebody else
    Mad visions and wild decisions were made
    In the alleys that wind through the back of mind
    How can I forget, what reason is left
    When I looked at myself, I was somebody else
    Mad visions and wild decisions were made
    In the alleys that wind through the back of my mind
    Oh
    With the black underlined, oh

    Underline the black around my eyes
    In the dark with heavy chains over my heart
    I just look, don't feel like myself at all
    And I'm just waiting for the ax to fall
    And they're still waiting for their lives to start
    And they're still waiting for their lives to start

    I'm not sorry
    I don't think of you that often

    How can I explain, that feeling remains
    When I looked at myself, I was somebody else
    Mad visions and wild decisions were made
    In the alleys that wind through the back of mind
    How can I forget, what reason is left
    When I looked at myself, I was somebody else
    Mad visions and wild decisions were made
    In the alleys that wind through the back of my mind
    Oh
    With the black underlined
    Oh
    The back of my mind
    Oh
    With the black underlined
