James Songtext
von Black Lab

So put yourself in the picture up on the wall
Don′t look too close, maybe, don't look at all
It′s a family portrait in taking the blame
A whole life savings gone up in flames, yeah

Picture yourself on the street today
A crowd of people turning away, yeah
A crowd of people burned alive
Say you're lucky just to survive
As the plane comes down on cannery row
He found a city where nobody knows him

And James, well, he went back
He went back, and it doesn't surprise me at all
He went back
He went back, and it doesn′t surprise me at all


James is playing doctor again
I gotta get him off the dioxin
He tells me I′m gonna be alright
Stay out of mirrors and out of the sunlight
Well, I lost track of the good times
I really hope you can find my, my, my James

But he went back
He went back, and it doesn't surprise me at all
He went back
He went back, and it doesn′t surprise me at all
He, yeah
And it doesn't surprise me at all
He, yeah, he, yeah, yeah
Doesn′t surprise me at all

Not at all, not at all
It doesn't surprise me at all
Not at all, not at all
It doesn′t surprise me at all

It doesn't surprise me at all
He, yeah, he, yeah, he, yeah, he, yeah, he, yeah, yeah, yeah
It doesn't surprise me at all
