Don't be there, don't be there, 
'Cause I'm on my way, 
And I'm already gone over, 
And I'm on my way. hey... 

I can't recall myself how I went down, 
Did I get shot or shoot myself? 

I'm down here, I'm down here, 
And you're way up there, 
That doesn't hurt, badly, 
But it stings right here, hey... 

I can't recall myself how I went down, 
Did I get shot or shoot myself? 

And I won't pretend there's nothing there, 
You'll be around and I'll be square. 
Don't be alarmed if I'm not there, 
You'll be around and I'll be square. 

If you're a rose then I'm the thorn 
that's in your side, 
And does it hurt badly? 
'Cause it burns right here. 

I can't recall myself how I went down, 
did I get shot or shoot myself? 

I'd like to say hello, 
I'd like to say I care, 
I'd like to let you know, 
That nothing here's the same with me, 
Nothing here's the same. 

And I can't recall myself how I went down, 
Did I get shot or shoot myself? 

And I won't pretend there's nothing there, 
You'll be around and I'll be square. 
Don't be alarmed if I'm not there, 
You'll be around and I'll be square. 
Don't be around, Don't be there, 
Don't be there.
