Never Really Been

Soul Asylum

Composed by: Dave Pirner
Sirens are a-screaming, shots ring out at night 
Movie cameras rolling in 
And there goes my hero with his head between his legs 
And all this time I believed in him 

Now, what is the sound of snow falling down 
On the tombstone in the dead of the night? 
And who is the hound at the downtown dog pound 
Who speaks English when the watchman's not in sight? 

And where will you be in 1993? 
Still sitting in the same chair 
Sinning is for sinners and I'm just a beginner 
But I've never really been touched there 

Hey ain't it strange how some things never change 
Ain't it strange how nothing stays the same? 
You were thinkin' I was distressed about some universe oppressed 
But I was just depressed about my last pinball game 

I've learned to accept and not to expect 
The respect and neglect that I get 
I've tried not to forget about what hasn't happened yet 
And on this I place my last bet 

Hey did you give what you get 
Did you get what you give? 
of your ?? 
Winning is for winners 
And I know spring follows winter 
But I've never really been touched there 

You know it's hard to be nice when hate becomes your vice 
And you can't find peace anywhere 
Love's just not for lovers 
Get off your high horse brother 
Drop your fist and get out of here
