As the Years Roll-Bye (Remix)

[Intro] Ghost, Ghost Ghost on the track Yeah Mad House Music, Mad House Music [Verse 1] I'm gonna make a change Yeah, once in my life But my hands ain't clean I've been walking crooked nights Turn the collar on my worn-out coat Cold wind in my head Neon lights and sirens singing Echoes of the things I said Kids on the corner with a hunger in their eyes While I spent my nights chasing ghosts and cheap highs Broken glass glittering under streetlamp glow Truth is I knew it Just didn't wanna know [Pre-Chorus] A dirty sidewalk sermon Graffiti on a soul Everybody drifting With nowhere left to go [Chorus] I'm starting with the man in the mirror But he don't always like what he sees Yeah the devil in my habits whispers "Stay the same, stay at ease" But if I wanna make the world a little less bitter Maybe I should face my sins Take a look at myself in the flicker And let the change begin Na-na-na, na-na-na Na-na-na-na [Verse 2] I've been living off a selfish kind of love Fast lanes, cheap thrills And a sky full of smoke above People sleeping under signs that glow all night While I burned through chances Just chasing another fight A scar in the pavement A bottle in the drain A dream washed out By a midnight rain Patterns of the wind keep dragging us around Running from the silence Running from the sound [Pre-Chorus] Yeah I played the villain More times than I can say But the mirror keeps asking "Are you done that way?" [Chorus] I'm starting with the man in the mirror Yeah I'm calling out his ways All the shadows getting clearer In the neon haze If I wanna make the world a little less colder Gotta change the skin I'm in Take a hard look getting older Let the fight begin [Bridge] You gotta fix it while the clock still ticks Before the heart goes numb to it Close your soul and you close your sight That's how you fade into the night That man Yeah that man That crooked reflection again That man Yeah that man Gotta decide who I am [Breakdown] Streetlights humming Past sins running Dark thoughts coming Still I'm standing [Final Chorus] I'm starting with the man in the mirror Not a saint, just trying to bend All the damage getting nearer Time to make amends If I wanna make the world a little bit better Gotta break the old pretend Take a look at myself forever And finally change within Na-na-na, na-na-na Na-na-na-na Make that change Make that change Yeah I gotta change
