lyrics

Late at night when the cuckoo’s crying
He wakes the tyrant in my head
Can’t get it right, but at least I'm trying
To look sharp and get out the lead
And win the bread though no one relies on me
Me to keep them warm and fed, I mean
It's no big deal, but I dream of dying
I don't see any light up ahead
All I see is the water I tread

I always drink beer in the morning
Yeah, that’s how I spend all my pay
‘Cause I can’t get away from the bright sunshine
And I gotta try sleep all day
Yeah I gotta try to sleep all day

Cold sweat can appear without warning
Like the doubts that keep gumption at bay
So I guess that I’ll keep on towing the line
And hope I find a better way
Yeah, I hope I find a better way

On the street, see them catch those feelings
And try to unload a little lust
While I choke down the pills to start my evening
Lurking by like a sleazy mollusk
Unsafe while the sky is blazing
Shut my eyes until it’s dusk
I close my mouth to keep my mind from screaming
So pardon me if I sound brusque
I'm less a man than I am a husk

Well, how do you do?
It’s so nice to meet someone new
I hope you’re giving me clues
That you’re happy to meet someone, too
Maybe we could screw
Then go out for a drink or two
I don’t mean to be rude
But don’t meet many people like you
And I don’t have much time
And I’m barely this side of my prime
So please be kind
And we can make one another feel fine
