lyrics

Right after I did something very, very bad
Faces of people – while dem walkin‘ pon de street
I can see
I have some pangs of conscience and regret
And you know – meseems that eyes of all those,
All those people are concentratet pon me

And then I feel like I’m a -
Naked Man – in the middle of nettles
You know – I feel like I’m a -
Naked Man – in the middle of nettles
A Naked Man – in the biggest of life stages
Lord! The only one fool – fool in society of sages

The voice of my guilty conscience
Is the greater judge
And still lingers – lingers in my head
And reminds ‘bout what I did so bad
And still lingers – lingers in my head

I can not drink – I don’t wanna talk and eat
‘cause you know – there is just – there is something bad
There is something bad in me now
It won’t let me even sleep

And then I don’t know how -
How could I be so foolish
Now the pain is getting, gettin‘ gettin‘ stronger
To do it – was just a little second
But to fix – it’s gonna take much longer

So now I feel like I’m a -
Naked Man – in the middle of nettles
You know – I feel like I’m a -
Naked Man – in the middle of nettles
A Naked Man – in the biggest of life stages
My Good Lord! The only one fool – fool in society of sages

The voice of my guilty conscience
Is the greater judge
And still lingers – lingers in my head
And reminds ‘bout what I did so bad
And still lingers – lingers in my head

If I’d know before my mistake
How it’s gonna feel right after..
I will never, never do it again
I will never, never do it again

But wise man said
– if I’d know where I will tumble down
I would lay down on that place for couple minutes
And after that – stand up and walk away

Now me seh – hey, young breda
I want encourage you fe truth
Me seh now – hey, young breda
Mistakes are privilege of the youth

Only experience teaches wisdom...
