Alone (Mookie Blaylock Demo, 23 October 1990) Songtext
von Pearl Jam

Wide awake like snakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had a woman long as he can remember
Tries to forget, but he can′t, he can't

Out of bed, having dreams in the shower
She′s standing naked, he's apologizing
Reaches for her and the water change to red, god
Woken up to be burned, burned again


Go it alone
You got it, so it goes
Got his knees to his face
He can't take it any other way

On the streets he′s walkin′ wounded
Heaven knows that he's got nothing to say
Thoughts of suicide and alleviation
Anything to get his heart off of the coals

Go it alone
You got it, so it goes
Got his knees to his face
He can′t take it for another day


Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Tries to forget, but he can't, he can′t
