i lost everything everything that means anything slipped through my fingers be longer my fingers and my arms are weak and my lips tremble when i speak my words stutter when i hit the stage but after all it s just a stage and it appears to me that i am the only one who can see the vacant eyes the hollow bodies starting back at me and theres no telling well who s to say when you lose everything you gotta pray oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god the karma police are coming after me persecuting every lie that walked free i didn t mean to tell all those stories but after all theyre just stories i let my tongue do the talking and let my legs do the walking it s not my fault if i m forever blue after all i inherited all my habits from you and it appears to me that i am the only one who can see the vacant eyes the hollow bodies starting back at me and there s no telling well who s to say when you lose everything you gotta pray oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god
