Estranged - Live In Las Vegas, Thomas & Mack Center - January 25, 1992

This next song is, uh
It's a really nice song not to listen to
When you're coked out and freaking out at five in the morning
This is something called "Estranged"

When you're talking to yourself
When nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone (alone)

So nobody ever told you, baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you, baby?
Guess we'll have to wait and see

One, two

Old at heart, but I'm only 28
And I'm much too young
To let love break my heart
Young at heart, but it's getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart

I don't know how you're supposed to find me lately
And what more could you ask from me?
How could you say that I never needed you
When you took everything?
Said you took everything from me

Young at heart and it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart, but I mustn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out
Still talkin' to myself
And nobody's home (alone)

So nobody ever told us, baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us, baby?
Guess we'll have to wait and see

And the gentleman on the keyboard is Mr. Dizzy Reed

When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time

And now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
And you don't walk so proud
Anymore, and what for?

Well, I jumped into the river
Too many times to make it home
I'm out here on my own, and drifting all alone
If it doesn't show, give it time
To read between the lines

I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything we've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die?

I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it through, this time, oh, this time
Without you

I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die
