Jamie Lyrics

Jamie lives in a warehouse,
corner of 14th and green,
he cooks after midnight sleeps in the twilight,
doesnt remember his dreams,
he lives and looks like a poet, critiquing the world on a string, his blood runs on cocaine and alcohol,
he'll try anything

Hook:
And he dont want anyone to know, and he dont want anyone to see

Chorus:
You lie, you cheat to break the beat baby, heart on your sleeve you wanna leave maybe, someday you'll find what your looking for, someday you'll be beggin' at your own front door, your running and gunnin for the gates of eden, head full of knowledge and a heart for freedom, someday jamie you'll fall on your face, someday boy your gonna break those chains

Jamie's being ironic on a sunday afternoon, the cynics and stoics boy they're coming, coming after you, he talks about death and dying, gotta get out this town, maybe go to south america disappear in the crowd

Hook:
and he dont want anyone to know and he dont want anyone to see

Chorus:
you lie, you cheat to break the beat baby heart on your sleeve you wanna leave maybe someday you'll find what your looking for someday you'll be beggin at your own front door your running and gunnin for the gates of eden head of knowledge and a heart for freedom someday jamie you'll fall on your face someday boy you're gonna break those chains

Jamie's family loves him, waiting for his return, pocketful of second guesses, when will he ever learn..

Chorus:
you lie, you cheat to break the beat baby heart on your sleeve you wanna leave maybe someday you'll find what your looking for someday you'll be beggin at your own front door your running and gunnin for the gates of eden head of knowledge and a heart for freedom someday jamie you'll fall on your face someday boy you're gonna break those chains

oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

you lie and you cheat baby, your breakin the beat baby, someday boy, someday boy, someday boy your gonna break those chains
