To arrive ahead of its time
Is the fate of the fish washed up on shore
But you know that it just won't feel right
Till he's swallowed up by the tide
Thought he might know better this time
Born into Capitol lifestyle heights Thought he might know better this time
Got a head full of fever and it feels all right
'Cause I shake my bottle and I suck my swill
And I love how I'm living 'cause I copped my fill
But I can't stop thinking how it's all gone wrong
And the cracks will be obvious before too long
I've abused my position and it cost my friends
And if the world keeps turning I could do it again
What's the matter with your next-door neighbor?
An act of man, a freak of nature
You can kick it in a complete stranger's
I think I hear him calling
It's the talk of the heads, it's a walk in the park
If it don't, better hope you can see in the dark
Cover your heart
Hail Mary, watch your life unfold
I'm a man on a mission or so I been told
I can choose my victims, I could shed my skin
And if the world keeps turning, I could do it again
But I can't stop thinking that it's all gone wrong
And the truth will be obvious before too long
I've abused my position and it cost my friends
If the world keeps turning, Imma do it again
What's the matter with your next-door neighbor?
An act of god, a freak of nature
You can kick it in a complete stranger's
I think the curtain's falling down
We lock eyes
and walk away unrecognized
We lock arms and spin
Commence our repetition
My repetition, my repetition is this!
