Alice In Chains - Jar Of Flies

Swing On This

Mother said, "Come home"
Father said, "Come home"
Sisters said, "Come home"
So my friends said, "Come home"

I said
"Let me be, I'm alright
Can't you see, I'm just fine
Little skinny, okay
I'm asleep, anyway"

Then I heard a voice
Said, "Son, you have a choice"
I then slapped my face

Let me be, I'm okay
I'm awake anyway
It's too bright over there
I can shift, cannot steer

So I drive them away
For a while, then I stay
Little skinny, okay
I'm awake, anyway

Now I have to go home
Do as when in Rome

Let me be, I'm alright
Can't you see, I'm just fine
Little skinny, okay
I'm asleep, anyway

Let me be, I'm okay
I'm awake, anyway
