When I first saw you baby 

Yeah you were gone

So far gone

The scene was set for armageddon 

And your grip on me was strong 



If you saw me yesterday 

You wouldn't recognize my face

If you saw me yesterday 

Yeah you might've ran away



Sister uptown, 

You're a metaphor for all life's grief and pain

Brother downtown

Such a devil, make a snake out of any man 



If you saw me yesterday 

You wouldn't recognize my face

If you saw me yesterday



Don't feel like crawlin' out of my cage

I used to say 

Another lame song and dance 

About a thing from my past 

I hope it's not boring you

In the end I lost a few friends

But I got up, I got up 

And I ran away



Drugs party in 526 is where I got my kicks

But where are they today?

Dead and gone, the damage is done 

I got nothin' else to say



If you saw me yesterday

You wouldn't recognize my face

If you saw me yesterday 

Yeah you might've ran away

If you saw me yesterday

Yeah you might've ran away
