Don't be there, don't be there,
And I'm already gone over,
And I'm on my way. hey...
I can't recall myself how I went down,
Did I get shot or shoot myself?
I'm down here, I'm down here,
That doesn't hurt, badly,
But it stings right here, hey...
I can't recall myself how I went down,
Did I get shot or shoot myself?
And I won't pretend there's nothing there,
You'll be around and I'll be square.
Don't be alarmed if I'm not there,
You'll be around and I'll be square.
If you're a rose then I'm the thorn
'Cause it burns right here.
I can't recall myself how I went down,
did I get shot or shoot myself?
I'd like to let you know,
That nothing here's the same with me,
And I can't recall myself how I went down,
Did I get shot or shoot myself?
And I won't pretend there's nothing there,
You'll be around and I'll be square.
Don't be alarmed if I'm not there,
You'll be around and I'll be square.
Don't be around, Don't be there,
