I started missing the days Where as soon as I'd wake I'd make a cocktail I'd spend the time that you took Giving me dirty looks With my cocktail And just like every love affair Well the fault in my armor shows And the boat is shot full of holes And I get a little green I could be dancing on one leg And enjoying the masquerade But I'm not making any lemonade But I got lemons if you need In my meandering way I'd sing a serenade and sip a cocktail My very own world view I'd tell the people I knew Through a cocktail Who can you turn to When the world is bleeding you dry? Man, they'll turn you loose And watch you wither in the daylight Sometimes I feel like a corpse With a lifetime subscription Just a strange proposition Or a thankless sacrifice Now how is every day the same In a variety of places? All the dull and empty spaces In the middle of a crowd I could be slipping off the wing of a dove Or tied up onto the train tracks But either way I ain't coming back The only way out is down Yeah, the only way out, my friend Is falling down
