lyrics

I thought I saw you hangin’ on the scene
standin’ on the corner talkin’ mean
I thought I saw ya hangin’ ‘round downtown
with yer hands in yer pockets and yer head slung down
lookin’ like a mutant Steve McQueen

But I could be wrong
I could be mistaken
and maybe that wasn’t you
Hangin’ ‘round with your new crew
Yeah, you look so bad
but you got nothin’ better to do
I thought I knew you

I thought I saw you lurking in the eyes
of the kind of guys that we had once despised
I thought I saw you look away
I thought I saw you fade to grey
I thought I saw the crack in disguise

But I could be wrong
I could be mistaken
and maybe that wasn’t me
Seein’ things I didn’t see
Yeah, you look so bad
but you got nothin’ better to be
I thought I knew you

Yer head is blowing up
like it’s a big balloon
I hate to interrupt
yer masquerade but soon
it's going to erupt
and it’ll just go…
boom

I thought I saw you hangin’ on the scene
with the seventh son of Martin Sheen
I thought I saw you bein’ cool
I thought I saw you bein’ cruel
I thought I saw the line blur in between but…

I could be wrong
I could be mistaken
and maybe that wasn’t you
hangin’ ‘round with yer new crew yeah
you look so bad
but you got
you got nothin’ better to do…

I thought I knew you…
…but I never knew you
