[Verse 1]
All the streets were silent
In the still of the night
When I first decided
I could not take a life
Out on Shelter Island
Cloth was torn from your eyes
You could've been worse off
You could've been me

[Chorus]
Stay out of the way
What more can I say?
No, I'm not unstable
I'm not unstable
Stay out of the way
What more can I say?
No, I'm not unstable
I'm not unstable

[Post-Chorus]
You couldn't bring me down
You couldn't bring me down

[Verse 2]
Every eye was watching
Every move that I made
Every mouth was talking
Every word like a plague
Out on Shelter Island
Everyone knows your name
You could've been worse off
You could've been me
[Chorus]
Stay out of the way
What more can I say?
No, I'm not unstable
I'm not unstable
Stay out of the way
What more can I say?
No, I'm not unstable
I'm not unstable

[Post-Chorus]
You couldn't bring me down
You couldn't bring me down
Stay out of the way

[Chorus]
Stay out of the way
What more can I say?
No, I'm not unstable
I'm not unstable
Stay out of the way
What more can I say?
No, I'm not unstable
I'm not unstable

[Outro]
You couldn't bring me down
You couldn't bring me down
You couldn't bring me down
You couldn't bring me down
You couldn't bring me down
You couldn't bring me down
You couldn't bring me down
You couldn't bring me down
