Corduroy Songtext
von Singles Plays 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 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 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 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
And I'll pay it off in blood
Let I be wed
And 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 want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
All the things that others want for me
Can′t buy what I want because it's free... Can′t be what you want because I'm...

I ain′t s'posed 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...
