Oh when the summer sun come cutting Like a clean razor blade And I wake to the day and all the visions I've made Reached out my hand for the curl of her hair And whisper my dreams to the girl who's not there Gather some memory from the night before Where'd she go? she go, where'd she go? Screaming of threats and slam of a door
Well I don't know, don't know, don't know So I look to the window and the city below From this bed of mine Where I eat sweet jelly rolls
Think I'll put on my face I'd like to fix me a drink 'Cause somewhere someone knows just what I think Last night's but a question that hangs likes a noose 'Round my throat, my throat Surely tonight, I'll invite it's abuse
Well there's no hope, no hope, no hope
Goodness me, oh my Oh my god, I still might be fine Get through all the pains I fake Poor boy could use a break A break from my own daily hate, oh \"Pain is something no one else knows\" That's what I hear them say But everyone bereaves the day I said weary weary walk away So I take to the streets like the dead to the grave You light me a smoke because it's right to behave And I'm all juiced up all morning because is when Heros stand tall in the statues of men And all the pigeons adore me and peck at my feet Oh the fame, the fame, the fame Someday they may use my head as a seat
Well I can't wait, can't wait, can't wait
Goodness me, oh my Oh my god, I still might get by Get through all the pains I fake Poor boy could use a break A break from my own daily hate, oh \"Pain is something no one else knows\" That's what I hear them say But everyone bereaves the day I said weary weary walk away
When I die alone bury me deep Way out west past Sunset Street So I can hear old 29 when she goes rollin' by And when they come to claim my skin And I go back where I begin Place the stones at my head and feet Tell them all I've gone to sleep
And as the city unravels her metal bedroll I dirty her sheets with the stumble I stroll And the people all stop just to watch me go by With a thirst in my throat and a tear in my eye So riddle me this while I lend you my soul in a song, in a song, a song And balance the sky on these shoulders of mine
Until the dawn, the dawn, the dawn
Goodness me, oh my Oh my god, I still might get by Get through all the pains I fake Poor boy could use a break A break from my own daily hate, oh \"Pain is something no one else knows\" That's what I hear them say But everyone bereaves the day I said weary weary walk away
