"Deep Inside" Lyrics

I'm still working on my own thing, tryin' to get it right

(I don't think I'll get much sleep tonight).

'Been dreaming like a winner, living like a bum,

I can't do much more right now than let the pictures come -

Come to mind, flying blind, drifting with the tide,

Sifting through the chaos deep inside.

The gleanings of a life - a life I'd never live -

Things that I would hang onto, sins I would forgive -

Deep inside, deep inside -

Those dreams of sweet acceptance and hungers long denied.

I'm just living in a bottle, ignored and out of sight,

But I'm not going down without a fight!

I've been longing like a sinner, living like a saint,

Slowly going crazy being what I ain't -

Ain't it swell, I can't tell how many times I've tried

To make some sense of everything I hide:

The pleasure and the pain - a pain I'd never lose -

Angels I'd abandon, devils I would choose -

Deep inside, deep inside -

Those dreams of sweet acceptance and hungers long denied.

Dreams of sweet acceptance....

Dreams of sweet acceptance....

Dreams of sweet acceptance and hungers long denied.

Petty things exalted and genius denied.
