Long-legged guitar picking

Hypnotized, alcoholized

Storytelling heartbroken man

Living in the ruins of a dream

Broken dreams never feel the rain

Running river of desperation

In my heart no consolation

Memories and beliefs

Mean nothing more to me

Than a ball and a chain inside of my brain

Holding me back from living a life

I just can’t stretch my wings to fly

I am what I am

Nothing more than a man

Nothing heavenly within my command

With everything to lose

I reach out to you

Would you love a creature like me?

I thought I’d trapped the wind in my pocket

But then she flew away

I thought that I had an eagle’s eye

But now it starts to fade

Would you kiss a monster’s cheek?

Would you hold a monster’s hand?

Would you look into my eyes

And say that you understand?

I am what I am

Nothing more than a man

Nothing heavenly within my command

With everything to lose

I reach out to you

Would you love a creature like me?

I am what I am

Nothing more than a man

Nothing heavenly within my command

With everything to lose

I reach out to you

I am what I am

Nothing more than a man

Nothing heavenly within my command

With everything to lose

I reach out to you

Would you love a creature like me? (Eh, yeah)

Would you love a creature like me, like me?
