I´m staring out into that vacuum again From the back porch of my mind The only thing that´s alive I´m all there is And I start attacking my vodka stab the ice with my straw
My eyes have turned red as stop lights You seem ready to walk, you know I will call you eventually When I wanna talk till then you´re invisible ´Cause there´s this switch that gets hit And it all stops making sense And in the middle of drinks Maybe the fifth or the sixth I´m completely alone At a table of friends I feel nothing for them I feel nothing, nothing Well I need a break from the city again I think I´ll ship myself back west I got a friend there she says "Hey anytime!" Unless that offers expired, I have been less than frequent
She´s under no obligation to indulge every whim And I´m so ungrateful, I take she gives and forgives And I keep forgetting it And each morning she wakes With a dream to describe Something lovely that bloomed In her beautiful mind I say I´ll trade you one For two nightmares of mine I have somewhere I die I have somewhere we all die I´m thinking of quitting drinking again I know I´ve said that a couple times And I´m always changing my mind Well I guess I am But there´s this burn in my stomach and there´s this pain in my side
And when I kneel at the toilet and the morning´s clean light Pours in through the window, sometimes I pray I don´t die I´m a goddamn hypocrite But then night rolls around And it all starts making sense There is no right way or wrong Well you just have to live And so I do what I do and at least I exist What could mean more than this? What would mean more? Mean more? Oh oh oh, oh oh Oh oh oh, oh oh
