I'm a danger, total stranger and the story goes
I can see through your disguise no matter what the pose
And what of the past, how does it end, and what's it gonna be?
Sometimes love is a dirty word, and it's never been enough for me
Yeah but I'm gonna let it slide this time
Turn the other cheek and say goodbye
I'm gonna let it fall apart
This old world won't break my heart
Yeah I'm gonna let it slide
Look around you, it'll drown you, it's a perfect wave
You can smile, but know all the while man you never get what we crave
There's fear on the left, Faith on the right, but I'm a nowhere man
I spend my days in an ignorant bliss, and try to do the best I can
Yeah but I'm gonna let it slide this time
Turn the other cheek and say goodbye
I'm gonna let it fall apart
This old world won't break my heart
Yeah I'm gonna let it slide
Maybe in a different time, you and I could drink that wine together
I'm gonna pull it off somehow, I'm thinking it might be now or never
Take a picture, so it'll last you 'cause things are getting strange
There's a world outside this world man and one of 'em's gotta change
Yeah but I'm gonna let it slide this time
Turn the other cheek and say goodbye
I'm gonna let it fall apart
This old world won't break my heart
Yeah I'm gonna let it slide
I'm gonna let it fall apart
This old world won't break my heart
Yeah I'm gonna let it slide
