you've been around

where's the pain in the violent night?

i'm depressed by the grin

i stay over many years

i should have thought of that

for the love of the money

like a black-hearted violin

it's the nature of being

it's too many lonely nights

i can't tell bad from wrong

i can't pass you by

too exchanging

you've been around

but you've changed me

where the flesh meets the spirit world

where the traffic is thin

i slip from a vacant view

i should have thought of that

and the sound of tomorrow

like a black-hearted vile thing

like the silence of tension

it's too many lonely nights

i can't tell good from bad

i can't pass you by

too exchanging

you've been around

but you've changed me

you've been around

can't pass you by

you've been around

but you've changed me

ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-change!

too exchanging

you've been around

but you've changed me

you've been around

can't pass you by
