Carry Me Up

The blood of the city
Runs through my veins
While the songs of the forest
Are fillin' my brain
Uptpwn and downtown
I search for some peace
My poor soul is poisoned
Can't get no relief

Carry me up
Carry me down
Take my poor body
Away from this town
And if you see me standing alone
Don't shake your head, no
Just take me home

Well, I laughed at myself
I take things too hard
I know you're my friend
You don't mean me no harm
I don't understand
What's wrong with my mind
I guess a clear understanding
Is so hard to find

Won't you carry me up, carry me down
Take my poor body away from this town
And if you see me standing alone
Don't shake your head, no, just take me home

Standing in a crowd of people
Feelin' all alone
Maybe tomorrow, leave me today
How could my best seem to fall through?

Just carry me up
Carry me down
Take my poor body
Away from this town
And if you see me standing alone
Don't shake your head, no
Just take me home

Carry me up
Carry me down
Take my poor body
Away from this town
And if you see me standing alone
Don't shake your head
No, just take me home
