I woke up on early evening and I knew I was alone
Did the sun come up or did it rain again?
I will never know
I felt the acid in my stomach rise above my throat as I dialed

There was a message from my mother
From about 7 AM, said I´ve forgotten what you sound like
And I´m wondering how you´ve been
I cried myself to asleep back on the floor
Unconscious in denial

Life is just a little part of what the world will do
To get it´s point across, it beats you till you are black & blue
And decides just when you´re in or when you´re out
Because when you´re through you´re through

There´s a cafe around the corner from a home I call a house
I sit and play Sudoku till I figure some shit out

I drink the day’s first coffee and I smoke the last cigarette of my life
And I´m wondering out of all the crazy places that I have been
Would it ever be as good as sitting here just with a friend?
Where it is always understood it might be time, to switch the coffee to the wine

Life is just a little part of what the world will do
To get it´s point across, it beats you till you are black & blue
And decides just when you´re in or when you´re out
Because when you´re through you´re through
Yeah, Yeah
Whoaaaah, Ohhhh

Whoaaaaahhhhhh
Ohhhh, Ohhh, Ohhh
Oh

Janis sings to me just like she´s sitting by my side
And I wonder just how many times she sat like me and cried
I´ve made it past the age of twenty-seven so there is no use in dying
And my friends have asked the question:
“Baby, will you be okay?”
I want to tell them yes because I know that is what I should say
But I have got no crystal ball and I cannot bring myself to lie and why should I?

Hey, yeah - I think that

Life is just a little part of what this world will do
It is bring us to the brink and beats the shit right out to you
And decides just when you are in or when you are out
Because when you are through you are through
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Life is just a little part of what the world will do
It is brings us to the brink and beats the sh1t right out to you
And decides just when you are in or when you are out
When you are through you are through

Aye, Oh
I guess I am through

Mmmmm
When you are through, you are through
