nothing like you

four blocks up and two streets down

i went back to my old hometown

like a kid i ran and hid on cue

that's when times were really sad

winter there was really bad

and we all just froze but for a chosen few

did you ever see someone you knew

holding fast and staying strong and true

and they were nothing like you?

truth to tell and time to burn

i hit the wall at every turn

the ceiling cracked in half and i just flew

poetry is what i heard

i was hanging onto every word

i was a lover for the world to woo

i have seen the top of mt. ventoux

i have seen a miracle or two

and they're n o t h i n g l i k e y o u

you've been waiting for awhile

i can tell

off my head and on the fence

maybe there's no accidents

anyway i'd say i have come to

so fool me once that might be fun

fool me twice well that's been done

you can fool me everyday i won't say boo

i believe i have pulled a major coup

i believe i have boarded up the zoo

i believe i have dropped the other shoe

and there's n o t h i n g l i k e y o u
