Corduroy (First Night) Songtext
von Pearl Jam

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

I don't wanna take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
I would rather run but I can't walk
Guess I lie alone just like before

I′ll take the varmint′s path
Oh, and I must refuse your test
A-push me and I will resist
This behavior's not unique

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


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

Everything has chains
Absolutely nothing′s changed
Take my hand, not my picture
Spilled my tincture

I don′t wanna 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...

Why ain′t it supposed to be just fun?
Oh, to live and die, let it be done
I figure I'll be damned
All alone like I began

It's your move now

I thought you were a friend but I guess I...
I guess I hate you
