I`LL BE YOU — текст песни (The Replacements)

If it`s a temporary lull
why`m I bored right outta my skull?
Man, I`m dressin` sharp an` feelin` dull

Lonely, I guess that`s where I`m from
If I was from Canada
then I`d best be called lonesome
[BTW, I read in an interview that Paul was struck with how some people in
Canada used the word "lonesome" instead of "lonely," hence this lyric.]

And if it`s just a game
Then I`ll break down just in case
Hurry up, we`re runnin` in our last race

Well, I laughed half the way to Tokyo
I dreamt I was Surfer Joe
An` what that means, I don`t know

A dream too tired to come true
Left a rebel without a clue
And I`m searching for somethin` to do

And if it`s just a game
Then we`ll hold hands just the same
So what, we`re bleeding but we ain`t cut

And I could purge my soul perhaps
For the imminent collapse
Oh yeah, I`ll tell you what we could do
You be me for a while
I`ll be you

A dream too tired to get to (come true)
Left a rebel without a clue
Won`t you tell me what I should do?

And if it`s just a lull
why`m I bored right outta my skull?
Oh yeah, keep me from feeling so dull

And if it`s just a game
Then we`ll break down just in case
Then again, I`ll tell you what we could do
You be me for a while
You be me for a while
I`ll be you
