Idiot Stare
Jesus Jones

Words and Music by Mike Edwards


I played with the fire
Stared at the light, screamed at the pain
Pushed to the center
Took no advice, waited in vain

I questioned it too
Thought about me, thought about you
The corruption between us
The power and lies, dreams come true

I don't know if I care
I can't feel, I can't speak
I can't think, I'm caught in an idiot stare

I won't let it go
Hold it to me, it's mine to the end
A shadow that hugs me
My black dog, my enemy friend

I don't know if I care
I can't feel, I can't speak
I can't think, I'm caught in an idiot stare
