You've Been Around

[Verse 1]

Where's the pain in the violent night?

I'm depressed by the grin

I stay over many years

I should have thought of that

For the love of the money

Like a black-hearted vile thing

It's the nature of being

[Chorus]

It's too many lonely nights

I can't tell bad from wrong

I can't pass you by

Too exchanging

You've been around

But you've changed me

[Verse 2]

Where the flesh meets the spirit world

Where the traffic is thin

I slip from a vacant view

I should have thought of that

And the sound of tomorrow

Like a black-hearted vile thing

Like the silence of tension

[Chorus]

It's too many lonely nights

I can't tell good from bad

I can't pass you by

Too exchanging

You've been around

But you've changed me

You've been around

Can't pass you by

You've been around

But you've changed me

Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-change!

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Too exchanging

You've been around

But you've changed me

You've been around

Can't pass you by

You've been around

But you've changed me

You've been around

Can't pass you by

You've been around

But you've changed me

[Outro]

(You've been around)

(You've been around)

(You've been around)

(You've been around)

(You've been around)

(You've been around)

(You've been around)
