Jamie

Jamie lives in a warehouse
 On the corner of 14th and Green
 Cooks after midnight, sleeping in twilight
 Doesn't remember his dreams
 He lives and looks like a poet
 Critiquing the world on a string
 His blood runs on cocaine and alcohol
 He'll try anything
 And he don't want anyone to know
 And he don't want anyone to see
 You lie and cheat to break the beat, baby
 Heart on your sleeve, you wanna leave maybe
 Someday you'll find what you're looking for
 Someday you'll be begging at your own front door
 You're running, you're gunning for the gates of Eden
 Head full of knowledge and a heart for freedom
 Someday Jamie you'll fall on your face
 Someday boy, you're gonna break those chains
 Jamie's being ironic
 On a Sunday afternoon
 The cynics and stoics, boy they're coming
 Coming after you
 He talks about death and dying
 Gotta get out of this town
 Maybe go to South America
 And disappear in the crowd
 And he don't want anyone to know
 And he don't want anyone to see
 You lie and you cheat to break the beat, baby
 Heart on your sleeve, you wanna leave maybe
 Someday you'll find what you're looking for
 Someday you'll be begging at your own front door
 You're running, you're gunning for the gates of Eden
 Head full of knowledge and a heart for freedom
 Someday Jamie you'll fall on your face
 Someday boy, you're gonna break those chains
 ♪
 Jamie's family loves him
 Waiting for his return
 A pocket full of second guesses
 When will he ever learn?
 You lie and you cheat to break the beat, baby
 Heart on your sleeve, you wanna leave maybe
 Someday you'll find what you're looking for
 Someday you'll be begging at your own front door
 You're running, you're gunning for the gates of Eden
 Head full of knowledge and a heart for freedom
 Someday Jamie you'll fall on your face
 Someday boy you're gonna break those chains
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 You lie and you cheat, baby
 You're breaking the beat, baby
 Someday boy, someday boy
 Someday boy, you're gonna break those chains
