Hound Dog Hannah

Every time you try to break away, you meet with resistance.
And you spend another thousand days justifying your existence.
You'd better go find your soul now. It's somewhere in the distance
Needing your assistance and nowhere near a phone.

What'd you get into? Looks like you had a little run in.
I hope you got at least one in right before you got done in.
It seems insignificant but the effect is stunning.
You know you can't keep running; you can't go home.

You're gonna need a friend maybe, some day when
You find the road that's leading where you need to go.
And I'll be waiting, celebrating,
Don't you know? 

You're still  looking at faces you never much liked facing,
Still stuck in places you never had no place in,
Some imaginary rabbit that they started you chasing,
And you'll keep on racing 'til you figure it out.

You don't want to cope with the scope of the plunder
But it gets more frightening with every rock you crawl under.
'Cause you can't see the lightning, oh, but you sure hear the thunder.
It's enough to make you wonder if you'll ever get out.

Maybe some day then, you're gonna need a friend.
You're as beautiful as anything I've ever known
And I won't leave you 'less you need me to.
Don't you know?
