lyrics

Background to the back of the alley
Mama said I don't need no money
It's kinda hard when you're poor and you're hungry
And life's a joke, but it isn't really funny
Another pebble in the sand

How much of what you're saying is true
When people try and talk to you?
Is your favorite thing to do
Sitting in your point of view?
Reading the evening news?
Believing what they tell you?

Strung out on my love of the devil
White pearls on the wings of an angel
Too late but too awake
And this feeling's getting pretty strange
I can feel it in my bones

What could it be?
What I see?
Blinded by the morning star
I woke up in a stolen car
It's been fun, but all my money's gone
Another pebble in the sand
