I can't be mad... How could they know?
That's how I used to do it-
If I would have hit one more I swear I woulda blew it...
They gave me what I asked for... strong

Up in the clouds where I belong.
I had a dream, I heard your voice,
Swear it's my favorite song.
Saved me from myself-
Cuz I almost wanted to be gone...
