I'm going to find myself some brand new lungs Because these ones are black and tired I'll use them well and mind my health And think nothing but good and pure thoughts
I've been bad, I know, and I'm sorry You can still smell the smoke reek through my skin Well I've had my way with the amenities The depraved and loose guns are my kin
You always said I'd have something to come back to That I will always have a home Well, you'll always be mine That's who you belong to You will never be alone
The boundaries of the poisoned sound The bitterness is so profound It's amazing how down and dirty others go It's amazing how much you care at all
Forgive me, Isn't this only a dream? This ain't really me talking You can't help but feel down When you're floating around On old borrowed wings that touch the ground
Sometimes I feel unfit to stay Wanna take myself out, call it a day But once I get some brand new lungs I'll be fit to go and spend them again
And the drunks all cheat and lie As the sober ones all cry They feel obliged to apologize Beg for forgiveness To make them feel alright
