[Verse]
Three fingers on a swollen hand
Beside a dented garbage can
A blind man staring at something only he can see
I spotted him like night sky, plotted him star struck
Sits alone, he's at home
Rafted in a sea of blackness

Three fingers on a swollen hand
Beside a dented garbage can
A blind man staring at something only he can see
I spotted him like night sky, plotted him star struck
Sits alone, he's at home
Rafted in a sea of blackness

He rattles his cup just enough to call your bluff
You can't pretend you didn't see him
Catch his smile in the rear view
Out of the blue his guitar entering hard
With three fingers he plays
Prays what he says might scare you

[Chorus 1]
You better not!
You better not!
You better not!
You better not!
[Verse]
Three fingers on a swollen hand
Beside a dented garbage can
A blind man staring at something only he can see
I spotted him like night sky, plotted him star struck
Sits alone, he's at home
Rafted in a sea of blackness

He rattles his cup just enough to call your bluff
You can't pretend you didn't see him
Catch his smile in the rear view
Out of the blue his guitar entering hard
With three fingers he plays
Prays what he says might scare you

[Interlude]
(Get that thing right from me)
I'll kill you, I will kill you
You know I'm ill, you better not cross me

[Solo/Chorus 2]
You better not!
You better not cross me now
You better not cross me, oh no no no no
No no no, don't cross me
[Bridge]
Don't cross me, don't cross your heart and hope
Or dream, or fear, or pray, I say
I see through you, I can see
I think you better not cross your heart
You better not cross the street in front of me, boy

[Verse]
Three fingers on a swollen hand
Beside a dented garbage can
A blind man staring at something only he can see
I spotted him like night sky, plotted him star struck
Sits alone, he's at home
Rafted in a sea of blackness

He rattles his cup just enough to call your bluff
You can't pretend you didn't see him
Catch his smile in the rear view
Out of the blue his guitar entering hard
With three fingers he plays
Prays what he says might scare you

With three fingers he plays
Prays what he says might scare you
What he says might scare you
