40 Days and 40 Nights

40 Days and 40 Nights

40 days and 40 nights, I been surrounded by an urban haze
Need to escape so I can mend my ways, for 40 days and 40 nights

Hangin’ by a thread I feel my fingers slippin’ from their hold
This rodeo I’m ridin’ in is wicked and it’s gettin’ kinda old
Just a little longer I thought I coulda made it to the bell
‘Til the rascal threw me, and I landed in a sorry state of hell

40 days and 40 nights, I been surrounded by an urban haze
Need to escape so I can mend my ways, for 40 days and 40 nights
40 days and 40 nights, in the desert I will make my home
Like a coyote I will howl and roam, 40 days and 40 nights

Thought I had it measured, thought that I could take a little more
A simple situation, shoulda gone like the way it did before
Didn’t know how wrong I could be, got in way over my head
They hit you where you live, and hurt you ‘til you’re wishin’ you were dead

40 days and 40 nights, I been lost inside a darkened maze
Need to escape so I can mend my ways, 40 days and 40 nights
40 days and 40 nights, I been fightin’ but it’s all in vain
Need to escape so I can heal the pain, 40 days and 40 nights

The highs are pretty high, the lows are ‘bout as low as you can go
They tell me not to worry, but they don’t know what I know
Way out on the edge that’s where I’m told I’m s’posed to play my role
They kick you when you’re down and shake the very essence of your soul

40 days and 40 nights, I saw my happiness erupt ablaze
Need to escape so I can mend my ways, 40 days and 40 nights
40 days and 40 nights, I been tied unto the whippin’ post
Need to escape for what I need the most, 40 days and 40 nights
40 days and 40 nights, I been wanderin’ in an urban haze
Need to escape so I can mend my ways, for 40 days and 40 nights

40 days, 40 nights, 40 days and 40 nights
I been runnin’ for 40 days and 40 nights

40 days and 40 nights, in the desert I will make my home
Like a coyote I will howl and roam, for 40 days and 40 nights

40 days, 40 nights, 40 days and 40 nights
I been runnin’ for 40 days and 40 nights
