Knew You Lyrics

I thought I saw you hangin' on the scene

Standin' on the corner talkin' mean

I thought I saw ya hangin' 'round downtown

With yer hands in yer pockets and yer head slung down

Lookin' like a mutant Steve McQueen

But I could be wrong

I could be mistaken

And maybe that wasn't you

Hangin' 'round with your new crew

Yeah, you look so bad

But you got nothin' better to do

I thought I knew you

I thought I saw you lurking in the eyes

Of the kind of guys that we had once despised

I thought I saw you look away

I thought I saw you fade to grey

I thought I saw the crack in your disguise

But I could be wrong

I could be mistaken

And maybe that wasn't me

Seein' things I didn't see

Yeah, you look so bad

But you got nothin' better to be

I thought I knew you

Yer head is blowing up

Like it's a big balloon

I hate to interrupt

Yer masquerade but soon

It's going to erupt

And it'll just go…

Boom

I thought I saw you hangin' on the scene

With the seventh son of Martin Sheen

I thought I saw you bein' cool

I thought I saw you bein' cruel

I thought I saw the line blur in between but…

I could be wrong

I could be mistaken

And maybe that wasn't you

Hangin' 'round with yer new crew yeah

You look so bad

But you got

Nothin' better to do…

I thought I knew you…

…but I never knew you
