Lyrics

Lift the Lid

Here I am, sitting on my porch

Thinkin' my life has got to be beyond reproach

Have I forgot some friends close to me

Real ones that don't use me

And does my woman love me now

Like she loved me then

Here I am,my defenses are down

Will she remember me when I'm not around

Will she still dream by me

Or will she find a new life

Will I ever get used, to being alone at night

I'll never know, but would it do me any good if I did

Life is a strange brew, maybe we should not lift the lid

Lift the lid

I'll never know, but would it do me any good if I did

Life is a strange brew, maybe we should not lift the lid

Lift the lid
