Sting Me (2008-03-04: New York, NY) Songtext
von The Black Crowes

If you feel like a runnin′, don't you deny it
(Put your good foot forward)
No need for heroics, I want you to show it
(Now′s the time to shine)
Your independence is a half-assed deliverance
(The train left the station)
The recognition of the same old condition
(Your symptoms showing through)

Regardless of the truth
You act aloof
Face of your judge and jury
I said you give up and you say not guilty

Can you sting me?
Gonna sting me?
Can you sting me?
Come on and sting me
To my rotten bones, yeah
Like I told you, hey

Look here


Every night for the crime of the century
(Courtesy of your mother)
The sign reads welcome to the valley of discovery
(Look at what money can buy)
Sons and daughters better open your eyes
(Tell me what you're seeing)
Oh, oh, oh, this submission is a tired tradition
(It's everyone′s sacrifice)

Players, believe you me
Got nothing up my sleeve
For this heart, chip on my shoulder
Yes, I might not getting older

Come on and sting me
Can you sting me?
Come on and sting me
Want you sting me?
Yeah

Yeah, come on my sweet young thing
What new things you wanna show me today?
Got one question, believe it′s subjective
It's all a matter of thing

I don′t mean to sound bitter
Touch me, touch me baby, just like murder
Living ain't so easy now
Come on and spank me


Can you sting me
Can you sting me, oh yeah
Can you sting me
Can you sting me
Can you sting me
Can you sting me
You wanna sting me
