Vs2
Circumstance dropped by
Uninvited and demand to be fed
But I've already gone to bed
There's nothing you can see from inside
My spirit arose and put on my clothes
And help me disconnecting the phone
To leave well enough alone
Leave well enough alone
Leave well enough alone

Vs3
Waking up at a station stop
And reality's invading my brain
The cops wanna search the train
They'll take away whatever they find
But I don't have the thoughts you want
Just a memory of love I was shown
A vision that turns to stone
Leave well enough alone
Leave well enough alone

That's it. My first tab since.....XO. Thanks for
being patient. All the other people do a great job.
Listen to the album for timings, as always.
