I’ll Be You Lyrics By The Replacements

    if it’s a temporary lull
    why’m i bored right outta my skull
    man i’m dressin’ sharp and 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
    hurry up hurry up we’re runnin’ in our last race

    well i laughed half the way to tokyo
    i dreamt i was surfer joe
    and what that means i don’t know
    a dream too tired to come true
    left a rebel without a clue
    and i’m searching for somethin’ to do

    and if it’s just a game
    then we’ll hold hands just the same
    so what so what we’re bleeding but we ain’t cut

    and i could purge my soul perhaps
    for the imminent collapse
    oh yeah oh yeah i’ll tell you what we could do
    you be me for a while and 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 oh yeah keep me from feeling so dull

    and 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
