I’ll Be You Songtext
von The Replacements

If it′s a temporary lull
Why'm I bored right outta my skull?
Man, I′m dressin' sharp an' feelin′ dull

Lonely, I guess that′s where I'm from
If I was from Canada
Then I′d best be called lonesome
And if it's just a game
Then I′ll break down just in case
Oh yeah, we're runnin′ in our last race

Well, I laughed half the way to Tokyo
I dreamt I was Surfer Joe
And what that means, I don't know
A dream too tired to come true
Left a rebel without a clue
And I'm searching for somethin′ to do


And if it′s just a game
Then we'll hold hands just the same
So what, we′re bleeding but we ain't cut

And I could purge my soul perhaps
For the imminent collapse
Oh yeah, I′ll tell you what we could do
You be me for a while
I'll be you

A dream too tired to get to
Left a rebel without a clue
Won′t you tell me what I should do?

Oh if it's just a lull
Why'm I bored right outta my skull?
Oh yeah, keep me from feeling so dull

And if it′s just a game
Then we′ll break down just in case
Then again, I'll tell you what we could do
You be me for a while
You be me for a while
And I′ll be you
