lyrics

20 years of schooling
I just never learned the math
that one and one don't equal two
they often equal half

I have tried to live the high life
the best that I know how
And I bought my share of debonair
and parlayed it on the crowd

I do believe that there's no more tricks up my sleeve
The good old days have past and the good times after that
And slowly I've become undone
a stranger with a stranger heart.

Well I plan to hit the bottom
the bottle then the top
and I pray that something quits me
before I gotta stop.

Cause the masquerade is over
but I was barely there
the mask come off the gilded cloth
yet I'm just barely here.

I do believe that there's no more tricks up my sleeve
The good old days have past and the good times after that
And slowly I've become undone
a stranger with a stranger heart.
