PEARL JAM LYRICS - Corduroy

"Corduroy"



The waiting drove me mad... you're finally here and I'm a mess

I take your entrance back... can't let you roam inside my head

I don't want to take what you can give...

I would rather starve than eat your bread...

I would rather run but I can't walk...

Guess I'll lie alone just like before...

I'll take the varmint's path... oh, and I must refuse your test

A-push me and I will resist... this behavior's not unique

I don't want to hear from those who know...

They can buy, but can't put on my clothes...

I don't want to limp for them to walk...

Never would have known of me before...

I don't want to be held in your debt...

I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed...

I'm already cut up and half dead...

I'll end up alone like I began...

Everything has chains... absolutely nothing's changed

"Take my hand, not my picture," spilled my tincture

I don't want to take what you can give...

I would rather starve than eat your bread...

All the things that others want for me...

Can't buy what I want because it's free...

Can't buy what I want because it's free...

Can't be what you want because I'm...

Why ain't it supposed to be just fun

Oh, to live and die, let it be done

I figure I'll be damned, all alone like I began...

It's your move now...

I thought you were a friend, but I guess I, I guess I hate you..
