Sinead O'Connor 8 Good Reasons song lyrics

8 good reasons

Don't know if I should quite sing this song.

Don't know if it maybe might be wrong

But then again it maybe might be right to tell you about the bullet and the red light

You know I'm not from this place

I'm from a different time, different space

And it's real uncomfortable to be stuck somewhere you just don't belong

But I've got 8 good reasons to stick around

8 good reasons...

Well, maybe 9 now.

I had a dream one night

About a bullet and a red light

You know it felt alright

You know it actually felt quite nice

If I coulda gone

Without hurting anyone

Like a child I'd find me mum

Like a bird I woulda been flown

You know I don't much like life

I don't mind admitting that it ain't right

You know I love to make music

But my head got wrecked by the business

Everybody wants something from me

They really ever wanna just know me?

I became the stranger no one sees

Cut glass off crawl upon my knees

I had a dream one night

About a bullet and a red light

You know it felt alright

You know it actually felt quite nice
