Why Can't You Be

You and your element of dangerous

Cheatin' death like a stranger but

Devils got your shirt tail clutched

In the palm of his hand

Double vodka on the rocks

On a plastic tray

Never fails you but it won't

Take the hours away, hey, hey, hey

Why can't you be

Why can't you be

It's plain to see you drive

Yourself crazy

Why can't you be

Why can't you be

It's plain to see you're

The only enemy

You got some stories you're afraid to tell

Tired of living in a shotgun shell

Headin' west to find the edge of

Life itself

Last I heard there were angels

Walking in Los Angeles

With their hands in their

Pockets lookin' cool like me, he, he, he

Scared of lovin' cause it

Might feel good

You want to get it like you

Know you should

What the hell's wrong with

Living without the blues

You stand convicted, you

Stand accused

You're so conflicted and

Abused, ooh ooh ooh

So here's to you

Guilty of being you is the

Easiest of all the things you do
