Ballad of Me

Oh what can I say?
It happened that way
I’m a freak in the family
Like a newborn child
With a frozen smile
I’m a jester emotionally
In the night, yeah
I dream of you
The sweetest dream
Of just we two
Holding each other
Only thirteen
Like a hawk in the night
I separate wrong from right
I’m a legend you see
Black and white as can be
And I give you this ballad of me

But in my way
I wish to say
I’m still afraid
Of all my friends
And mystery
Of unknown things
And lifeline hands
And Scorpio
And old Mojo
And sidewalk queens
And rooftop fiends
Oh, whoa, whoa
