Every dream that I dream

Seems to float on by

Like a cloud in the wind

Way up in the sky

Every move that I make

Seems to be the wrong way

Like a cold black night

After a summer day

What can I do

What can I do

Nothing's the same as it used to be

Nothing's the same as it used to be

What can I do

I used to play my guitar

With a smile on my face

Now everything's changed

My whole life's rearranged

From the day I was born

Sidle Jinx was my name

Though I tried and I tried

That name still remains

What can I do

What can I do

Nothing's the same as it used to be

Nothing's the same as it used to be

What can I do

What

Can I do

What

Can I do

What

Can I do

What

Can I do

I hear voices all singing

But no one's there

It's a ghost of my life

Bringing past tense to mind

Lock and key here ties me

From the freedom and sin

Oh come let me in

I'll start all over again

What can I do

What can I do

Nothing's the same as it used to be

No no no no no no no no no

What can I do

What

Can I do

What

Can I do

What.
