Once I tried to eat myself alive I wanted to know what I was like inside In the morning every day of my life Face in my mirror seems so surprised
And I dance by the light of the silvery moon
Day late and a dollar short That's what my momma said Wild dreams and empty thoughts Going through your head
Once I tried to set myself on fire I was burning with desire Voice of reason whispers in my ear I see the light but I cannot hear
Naked dancers chanting in the night
Day late and a dollar short Never was and I never will be what you're gonna be A day late and a dollar short it's what my momma said Wild dreams and empty thoughts Going through your head
Day late and a dollar short Dream on, dream on You're dreamin' Day late and a dollar short Momma said Get back to your bed Day late and a dollar short It's what she said to me
