Quotable Lyrics
I toured the world and been to where the, the planes have flown and sipped some seltzer
And now through all the highs and all the lows I’m in the midst of kidney failure?
A different plight, a different realm, the ifs, the whys, the hows, the whens, the wheres
A different test with different kinds of questions, I hit here tied to this machine connected
