I Egot a haircut in Norway When all the Aweight started pullin' me Edown Smellin' like water-logged wet dogB ain't no way to travel but as Esoon as I chopped it all off, it Agrew back thick and Ebrown I keep tuggin' at the threads, hopin' it aBll might come unraEveled I keep trying to throw it all away but it Bcomes right back aEround
[Verse 2]
They cEome backstage on my bus PretAending to be my fEriend Shaking hands behind grandstands, all Bwearing the same old grin Oh, but nEone of them bother knocking, oh they aAll just come on iEn Asking what all my songs mean, Bwonderin' if they're all about Ethem
[Chorus]
MercF#mury must be in Aretrograde Eagain But at F#mleast it's not just Ahanging around, prEetending to me my friend Oh the Aroad to hell is paved with cruel inEtentions If it's not nuclear war, it's gonna be a Bdivine interEvention
[Post-Chorus] E A E A [Verse 2]
ELivin' the dream makes a man scream, Alight a match and burn it all Edown EHead back home to the mountain, far aBway from all the pull Oh, all theE journalists and sycophantsE weilding their brands and all the Atravelin', trophies and Eaward show stands and all the hEaters wishin they was in my band sorry Bboys, the bus is plumb Efull
[Chorus]
MercF#mury must be in Aretrograde Eagain But at F#mleast it's not just Ahanging around, prEetending to me my friend Oh the Aroad to hell is paved with cruel inEtentions If it's not nuclear war, it's gonna be a dBivine interEvention

And there's nothing for mAe outside this hotel rEoom But aAnother letdown, lonely daEy, ATour is almost over, F#mand I'll be home soon And it's Aall been done B2 or 3 times anywaEy
[Chorus]
MercF#mury must be in Aretrograde Eagain But at F#mleast it's not just Ahanging around, prEetending to me my friend Oh the Aroad to hell is paved with cruel inEtentions If it's not nuclear war, it's gonna be a dBivine interEvention
