Seems I've got to have a change of scene
Cause every night I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to leave before I start to scream
But someone's locked the door and took the key.

You feelin' alright? 
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Well, you feelin' alright? 
I'm not feelin' too good myself.

Well, say, you took me for one big ride
And even now I sit and wonder why
That when I think of you I start to cry
I just can't waste my time, I must keep dry
Gotta stop believin' in all you lies
Cause there's to much to do before I die.

You feelin' alright? 
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Well, you feelin' alright? 
I'm not feelin' too good myself.

Don't get too lost in all I say
Though at the time I really felt that way
But that was then, now it's today;
I can't get off so I'm here to stay
Till someone comes along and takes my place
With a different name and, yes a different face.

You feelin' alright? 
I'm not feelin' too good myself
Well, you feelin' alright? 
I'm not feelin' too good myself.
