[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong

And we can do it on our own
Head up to a place where baby no one goes6
A rocket full of liquor, a Polaroid for pictures7

If I was the sinner would you be the preacher?

You see the stars, but they just see the skies
And you see my scars what do they see?

If I was the music would you be the dancer?
If I was the student would you be the teacher?
If I was the sinner would you be the preacher?
