Lyrics for Gotham
I wanted everything But a wedding ring If I could just let them in Bring me my medicine Stuck in a daze, stuck in my ways Going insane today, away, and I'm fiendin' for change Counting my steps within, dancing with your blessing One at a time, still gasping for life, looking for change Let's raise Hell And God willing, God willing, we can still prevail, eh Seen them ships, see them go and I seen them sail Love's gone, love's dead, yeah, love is stale Hope we still prevail I need to get my wings You are my medicine I wanted everything But everything was negative, I need your sedative Stuck in a daze, stuck in my ways Going insane today, away, and I'm fiendin' for change Stuck in a daze, stuck in my ways Going insane today, away, and I'm fiendin' for change And I'm looking for the runaway (stuck in a daze) Oh, I'm still going the wrong way (stuck in my ways) Hold it down when it feels like I'm going insane (going insane today, away) And I'm fiendin' for change Sitting on a runway, waiting for my wings to work, mm-mmh Need a one-way ticket to a better place Think I'm going clear if it doesn't rain, mm-mmh Yeah, I could've been him some day But I couldn't wait my turn, I couldn't wait to learn And now, I'm swimming in my own lake Got 'em singing like I'm Coldplay, guess it worked anyway We came from minimum wage, now we're singing on stage They wanna slander my name, they wanna take it away But they can't, nah, astaghfirullah, huh, huh They offered me millions just to be myself But the more I make, then the more I failed at being who you want me to be Such a shame you don't want me for me (aw, man) Offered me millions just to be myself But the more I make then the more I failed At being who you want me to be Such a shame you don't want me for me Fiendin' for change, fiendin' for change (yeah) Still fiendin' for change (yeah), fiendin' for change Often got me in a daze God forgive me for my ways, aw, man
