Had to find some higher ground Had some fear to get around You can't say what you don't know Later on won't work no more Last time through I hid my tracks So well I could not get back Yeah my way was hard to find Can't sell your soul for piece of mind Square one, my slate is clear Rest your head on me, my dear It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears Took a long time... to get back here Try so hard to stand alone Struggle to see past my nose Always had more dogs than bones I could never wear those clothes It's a dark victory You won and you also lost Told us you were satisfied But it never came across Square one, my slate is clear Rest your head on me, my dear It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears Took a long time... to get back here Square one, my slate is clear Rest your head on me, my dear It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears Took a long time... to get back here Square one, my slate is clear Rest your head on me, my dear It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears And took a long time... to get back here
