Will I Be Someone by The Dad Horse Experience Lyrics
All the dirty streets I walked
All the dirty thoughts I thought
All the dirty deeds that I did
Stick on my mind
I've been putting a tattoo on me
From the inside I can't see
What it is or what it means
I just know the pain that I feel
But the day when I'll be done & die
Will I see, will I recognize
The whole, the tattoo inside
Of my heart & my soul?
Will I Be someone before I die
Will I be someone
When I walk into the dark night (into the dark night)
Will I be someone before I die
A dot of ink in God's blue sky
A tattoo myself, fading away
Bеtty set her mind to die
Madе a plan after 'while
Getting herself overdosed
With the stuff that she liked most
Liquid courage made her nearly insane
Couldn't hit a letter nor a vein
Asked her neighbour to help her through
Neighbour said, sure I could do this for you
But hippie Johnny was a junkie himself
Took his share before gave her something else
He got high while she did faint
He saved her life, what an american saint
Will I Be someone before I die
Will I be someone
When I walk into the dark night (into the dark night)
Will I be someone before I die
A dot of ink in God's blue sky
A tattoo myself, fading away
Is it singing peasants throwing their seed
Or the crazies yelling down in the street
Is what you get the stuff that you need
Down in the dark night?
Looking for love, are you looking for God
Christmas tree or a parking lot
A place for a pee or a decent job
Are you fading away?
You can't say because it's too hard
Time to stay or is it time to part
Question mark in the dark
That's what we are
I've been putting a tattoo on me
From the inside I can't see
What it is or what it means
I just know the pain that I feel
Then the day when I'll be done & die
I will see, I will recognize
The whole, the tattoo inside
Of my heart & my soul
Then I'll be someone before I die
Then I'll be someone
When I walk into the dark night (into the dark night)
Then I'll be someone before I die
A dot of ink in God's blue sky
A tattoo myself, fading away
All the dirty thoughts I thought
All the dirty deeds that I did
Stick on my mind
I've been putting a tattoo on me
From the inside I can't see
What it is or what it means
I just know the pain that I feel
But the day when I'll be done & die
Will I see, will I recognize
The whole, the tattoo inside
Of my heart & my soul?
Will I Be someone before I die
Will I be someone
When I walk into the dark night (into the dark night)
Will I be someone before I die
A dot of ink in God's blue sky
A tattoo myself, fading away
Bеtty set her mind to die
Madе a plan after 'while
Getting herself overdosed
With the stuff that she liked most
