I'll Be You by 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

And if it's just a game
Then I'll break down just in case
Oh yeah, 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 searchin' for somethin' to do

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, oh yeah

A dream too tired to come true
Left a rebel without a clue
Won't you tell me what I should do?

Oh if it's just a lull
Why'm I bored right outta my skull?
Oh yeah, keep me from feelin' so dull

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
And I'll be you, hey
