Corduroy (Live at United Center, Chicago, IL - June 1998)

Corduroy

Pearl Jam

The waiting drove me mad

You're finally here and I'm a mess

I take your entrance back

Can't let you roam inside my head

I don't want to take what you can give

I would rather starve than eat your bread

I would rather run but I can't walk

Guess I'll lie alone just like before

I'll take the firmest path

Oh and I must refuse your test

A-push me and I will resist

This behavior's not unique

I don't want to hear from those who know

They can buy but can't put on my clothes

I don't want to limp for them to walk

Never would have known of me before

I don't want to be held in your debt

And I'll pay it off in blood let I be wed

And I'm already cut up and half dead

I'll end up alone like I began

Everything has changed

Absolutely nothing's changed

Take my hand not my picture

Spilled my tincture

I don't want to take what you can give

I would rather starve than eat your breast

All the things that others want for me

Can't buy what I want because it's free

Can't buy what I want because it's free

Can't be what you want because I'm

I ain't s'posed to be just fun

Oh to live and die let it be done

I figure I'll be damned

All alone like I began
