Songtexte Corduroy - alternate take, previously unreleased - 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 around my head

I don't wanna take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
I would rather run, but I can't walk
Then again, who's felt this way before?

All of the sermon text
Adds up to what might not be best
A-push me and I will resist
This behavior's not unique

I don't wanna hear from those who know
They can buy, but can't put on my hose
I would lie awake for them to walk
Never haven't known of me before

I don't wanna be held in your debt
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
I'm already cut up and half spread
Left inside a hole, like I began

Left inside a hole
Oh-oh
Everything has chains
Absolutely nothing's changed
This ain't bad, the same picture
Spilled my tincture

I don't wanna need what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your breast
All the things that others want from 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

I ain't supposed to be just one
Oh, to live and die, let it be done
I figure I'll be damned
All alone like I began
