Boy, don't you turn into a sad ol' kid like me
I go and gamble every penny that I see
Yeah, I'll go on down tonight and drink until I'm blind
And somebody'll hold you tight 'til everything's alright
Well, you won't believe it but it's the god damn truth
Yeah, I went and flew off of a god damn roof
And I saw God
In the sky
I watched his eyes
Watch me die
Well, I've got wisdom but I still don't got a clue
And you've got some questions someone else will listen to
But you can fall
Where you like
Cause after all
We're alright

Out in the summer time
Gonna walk that way back home
And I feel alright
When you come my way
My oh my
I'm so high

I'm in one mind to lose my sight
My brain ain't what it's been
I find no sense in consciousness
So I've taken to routine
My name don't say a lot 'bout me
It paints more than I can hold
So people think the best of me
And watch as I unfold
Fingers in the engine, now
Faces in the sky
The washing line spins in time
To some wicked nurs'ry rhyme
And I catch the sun
As it catches you upon the head
And in my mind I watch you die
While you watch me sleepin' instead
Well, open up the coffee, dear
There's somethin' I first need to do
And put some on while I am gone
And grab some cups for two
Just think, it's been a long, long time
Since whatever it was I said
Would ever be the death of me
And I can't live with this regret

Take me back to happiness
And I'll tell you where I'll be
Cause I've been in this bar too long
And I can't find my way out
Well, I know you care
And I don't mind takin' the long way home
Cause the moon is bright
And the stars shine down on me
Take me back to desert lands
Take me home
Take me back to desert lands
And I'll tell you what I want
Cause I've been in this dream too long
And I can't find my way out
Well, I know you care
And I don't mind takin' the long way home
Cause the moon is bright
And the stars shine down on me

I ain't got much time
To sit around and wait
Been sent to help the hungry
Try to lift some sorta weight
But they can't seem to get
Their trials off their minds
Accusin' me of comin' here
To finish off their rinds
But how can I sing for the poor
If I ain't poor myself?
Well, I'll take my hat, my coat
And pass them on to someone else
I'll make my way along
The borders of this land
And I'll just keep on walkin'
'til my legs refuse to stand
So won't you come my way
And spend another day
In the grips of nothingness
While we figure out this mess
So if you needs a little time
To think it over too
Well, we can take a walk
And talk it over while we do
My memory's not great
But I've shared with you what I know
And I remember fallin' ill
As the winter brought the snow
There were people all around
With mud all through their hair
And I just couldn't take my eyes
Off any one of them
They didn't have a lot
Not more than what they need
And now I understand that any man
Is lucky if he's free
So won't you come my way
And spend another day
In the grips of nothingness
While we figure out this mess
Or let it all fall down
