TROUBLED CHILD (Mark Chadbourne) I must now try to untie all of the knots I find in my mind It's incredibly lonely (when nobody visits) It's incredibly lonely (when nobody listens) I must now try to find a way to untie my mind of all of the knots some troubled child has made in my life Deep in the heart there's a place I barely know Deep in the heart there's a place I recognized as home I wouldn't know where to be or where to go There's no place like home, troubled child When you've never had a home of your own it's incredibly lonely Incredibly lonely Go to a world where no one has ever wept And as children we so peacefully slept the sadness away woah oh oh, woah oh oh woah oh oh oh oh... Troubled child Close your eyes troubled child Troubled child... Injured adults and parents make a poor defense Substitute emotions for evidence Deep in the heart there's a place I barely know Deep in the heart woah oh oh oh Close your eyes troubled child Lonely It's incredibly lonely Incredibly lonely Gets incredibly lonely woah oh oh woah oh oh woah oh oh woah oh Close your eyes troubled child Troubled child ©2013 Mark Chadbourne Artdog Music BMI All rights reserved
