Lyrics
I got this strange old song
Can't get it out of my head
I'll keep on singing it wrong
'Till the day I'm dead
A little out of tune
And it makes me blue
'Cause it rings so true
What did I do to you
I got the shackles on my feet
'Cause I've been set free
Now I can touch the sky
On my bended knee
And I stumble like a bum
Through your holy land
But I still can't stand
What did you do to me
Keep on traveling through, living for the other side
Where the love is sacred and profane but where my dreams cannot abide
'Cause all these illusions have been shattered by what's true
And the fire burns through
What did I do to you
I was born with a silver spoon
But I cast in the fire
Alive in the world of men, I was swept up by desire
Now I got this lightning in my head
And this thunder in my heart
And they tear the veil of heaven
And they're never far apart
The streets are full of revolutionary's in their fancy cars
And all these lonely faces hog these crowded bars
I'm like a man out of time who lost his place
Looking in the mirror, I can't see my face
Come shine a light on this deep well alone
So I can see through the night
And I can find a-my way home
But you got nothing but nothing
You've got nothing but a loan
To see you through
What did I do to you
I fought to keep my nobility
In the face of a stalling defeat
I was a well trained actor
Swept up by reality
The audience was waiting
For the jester clown
But the judge wasn't acting when he laid my sentence down
You got your lily-white hands
I give you that much
You got a heart on fire
And a wounded touch
I'm still cold in the night and numb inside
Looking for the dawn
And keep on carrying on
You traveled East but you left me in the West
You can tell me it was meant to happen or say it was only a test
But will I still be free when it's over
With the hope it was all for the best
And can I see it through
What did I do to you
So I come to the knowledge
We are finally at the end
No further explanations are required
To atone for all my sins
Now the only option left
Is to begin again
After we broke in trust
From the ashes and the dust
Well the song keeps playing
And it burns like fire
The light fills my mind and my hearts desire
Just set on you
And it rings so true
And it burns me through
What did I do to you
