CHAPTER FIVE

  BEHIND BLUE EYES

  “No one knows what it's like

  To be the bad man

  To be the sad man

  Behind blue eyes

  “No one knows what it's like

  To be hated

  To be fated

  To telling only lies

  “But my dreams

  They aren't as empty

  As my conscience seems to be

  “ I have hours, only lonely

  My love is vengeance

  That's never free

  “No one knows what it's like

  To feel these feelings

  Like I do

  And I blame you

  “No one bites back as hard

  On their anger

  None of my pain and woe

  Can show through

  “But my dreams

  They aren't as empty

  As my conscience seems to be

  “I have hours, only lonely

  My love is vengeance

  That's never free

  “When my fist clenches, crack it open

  Before I use it and lose my cool

  When I smile, tell me some bad news

  Before I laugh and act like a fool

  “If I swallow anything evil

  Put your finger down my throat

  If I shiver, please give me a blanket

  Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

  “No one knows what it's like

  To be the bad man

  To be the sad man

  Behind blue eyes”
