Cordouroy Songtext
von Pearl Jam

The waiting drove me mad
You′re finally here and I'm a mess
Take your entrance back
Can′t let you roam inside my head

I don't want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
I would rather run, but I can't walk
Guess I′ll lay alone just like before

I take the poor man′s path
I must refuse your test
Push me and I will resist
This behaviour's not unique

I don′t want to hear from those who know
They can buy but can't put on my clothes
I don′t want to limp for them to walk
Never would have known of me before


I don't want to be held in your debt
I′ll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
I'm already cut up, I'm fucking dead
I′ll end up alone like I began

Everything has chains
absolutely nothing has changed
So take my hand, not my picture
spill my tincture

I don′t want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your breast
All the things that others want for me
Can't buy what I want because it′s free
Can't buy what I want because it′s free
Can't be what you want because I′m

I ain't supposed to be just fun
Never to be tried and I'll be your judge
I figure that I′ll be damned
All alone like I began
