Man of Contradiction
A promise is a prison
Life without parole
When you gotta save
Your troubled soul
I buried that heart you gave me
In the hot Mojave sand
Deep and safe
In the open land
Wish I could go back
Wish I could fly
Wish I wouldn't have
To see you cry
All my contradictions
They're all part of me
Permanent like a tattoo
Forever like me and you
Maybe tomorrow too
I keep my secrets
In an open book
It's all written there
It just takes one look
When the day is done
And no light shines
When it's dark enough
You can read between the lines
All my contradictions
They're all part of me
Permanent like a tattoo
Forever like me and you
Maybe tomorrow too
I don't want to make sense
Ain't trying to be a different man
Right or wrong, good or bad, no difference
You gotta take me as I am
All my contradictions
They're all part of me
Permanent like a tattoo
Forever like me and you
Maybe tomorrow too
Life without parole
When you gotta save
Your troubled soul
I buried that heart you gave me
In the hot Mojave sand
Deep and safe
In the open land
Wish I could go back
Wish I could fly
Wish I wouldn't have
To see you cry
All my contradictions
They're all part of me
Permanent like a tattoo
Forever like me and you
Maybe tomorrow too
I keep my secrets
In an open book
It's all written there
It just takes one look
When the day is done
And no light shines
When it's dark enough
You can read between the lines
All my contradictions
They're all part of me
Permanent like a tattoo
Forever like me and you
Maybe tomorrow too
I don't want to make sense
Ain't trying to be a different man
Right or wrong, good or bad, no difference
You gotta take me as I am
All my contradictions
They're all part of me
Permanent like a tattoo
Forever like me and you
Maybe tomorrow too
