Mr Petty

Hey Mr. Petty why'd you have to go
There was still so much that we'll never know
You left us just when we needed you most
I'm here playin records just to hear your ghost
All a your words they still ring true
Its a colder world without you

I had a room at the top till they changed the locks
I was a refugee with no second thoughts
I'm just a face in the crowd runnin' down a dream
It was my saving grace now its good to be king

Oh Mr. Petty its so dark out here
We need a Nightwatchmen to keep it clear
Hey now Spike won't you tell us bout life?
The truth it hurts it cuts like a knife
Damn the torpedos full speed ahead
I won't back down playin in my head

I had a room at the top till they changed the locks
I was a refugee with no second thoughts
I'm just a face in the crowd runnin' down a dream
It was my saving grace now its good to be king
