Funny Ways lyrics

Oh yeah, I heard him praying
"Don’t pull me over
I don’t need another strange situation to explain
And if you should discover
I don’t wanna have to paint the picture with your brains"

He’s been out on the street for a little while
It can make you act a funny way
They said the air was sweet on the outside
But it’s a trap just to get you back some day

I went out, I saw him playing
It was a cover
Singing pretty for some city that he’d never seen
And someone else’s lover
Must feel sh*tty singing lies just to make your green

He thought it was sweet for a little while
But it can make you act a funny way
There’s no roses at your feet at the end of the night
When they turn up all the lights and they give you away
When they turn up all the lights and they give you away

So what’s he saying?
He needs a brother
There’s something he can’t name that makes him bad inside
And we can help each other
Then he came out of the house screaming
"Drive! Drive! Drive!"
He was out on the street for a little while
It can make you act a funny way
When everything is bleak on the outside
It’s a trap just to get you back some day
It’s a trap just to get you back some day
