I've been a bad man
all my life
but I am not the dog
you've been thinking of
I am wrapped in you
when I remember you
and now I am satisfied
to just be alive
I've been a bad man
I gave it everything I have
but I wouldn't change a day
not for a heartbeat
I've been crucified
I've been hard to get to know
I never made amends
I never did try, I never did try.
I left a special taste
In a special mouth
I let a sister go to hell
I let a Mother loose a son
But I've had all the time I need
for swimming around the wrecks.
I have a soul to change.
Have you been living too long?
Where's all your energy gone?
Have you been living too long?
Where's all your energy gone?
I have a soul to change.
I've been a bad man
I've been a bad man
I've been a bad man
I've been a bad man
all my life
but I am not the dog
you've been thinking of
I am wrapped in you
when I remember you

to just be alive
I've been a bad man
I gave it everything I have
but I wouldn't change a day
not for a heartbeat
I've been crucified

I never did try, I never did try.
