Well, I got shot right in the back, And you weren't there, you weren't there I said I was never coming back, And you weren't there, you weren't there When I thought the islands were under attack, You weren't there, you weren't there When I saw the bedroom, wasn't too sure, 'Cause you weren't there, you weren't there And if God is what we made Cut their hands on the needles Don't get high on what you create Well, I saw the geyser turn into death And you weren't there, you weren't there It all was so tragic, we made it on time, 'Cause you weren't there, you weren't there When they lost their maps, boy's wind blew south You were there, you were there When I was out on the town, the town And I needed it, needed it And if love is what they gave, Turn the wives into heroes Don't get high on what you create Or it might just steal you
