lyrics

Here I am alone in this room,
Singing songs out of time & out of tune
Daylight you know it’s a coming soon

I lose track of the time as I play
This same old song, the same old way
Messed up the words I forgot what to say
Try again tomorrow or some other day

When it’s time to go to bed
So many thoughts running through my head
Ain’t no reason, or rhyme that I’ve said
Would make a difference & earn me some bread

Guess I’ll go & take a walk outside
What’s with those people there they go driving by
With they’re faces all covered, I just don’t know why
Makes you wonder what’s going on inside

Just can’t believe in these things that I see
Everyone’s fallen for this lunacy
Are they that detached from reality? Hmm

Should I just go home & back to bed?
Or try and finish this song in my head
Who will ever hear these words that I’ve said?
Look out my friends, there’s rough times ahead
