Stone Temple Pilots Samba Nova lyrics

(*R. DeLeo)
[** Deluxe and Japanese Editions:]


Hard time is never long enough*
To keep my head afloat
And my feet are stuck in the mud again
I'm getting old and my money's been spent

Tryin' hard was never good enough
I've got a lot to learn
And she's walkin' right out the door again
I'm torn in two and I don't see the end

You can always buy a new lie
When yours is finally over
Either way you'll find a new life
When yours is finally over


Don't think I ever changed at all, my dear
And you'll see when I'm right
And here's when I'm wrong, but still
I kick myself in the face once again

Sometimes I think that I can kill the world
If just for a day
But I'd just be stuck with myself again
And I don't think I wanna be my only friend

You can always buy a new lie
When yours is finally over
Either way you'll find a new life
When yours is finally over
