When you walk around, you know you feel okay Although you had some mornings that make you cry You took 'em lying down You took ?em, oh, so hard And when you call the phone and talk to me and explain I try to hark the words and not obey They came out wrong And I was back where I started There is only one person that talks that way And you use imagination in the back of the cab You took it all the way Home to my empty room Well, I remember that expression for the rest of my life My answer to the party line, up in and go get her Reach inside my kitchen for that old carving knife To mess up all my people, make 'em see a little redder, hey When I do my dirt, will you stand up high And tell me how you got to be this way I listened all the time I wait around so long And if you ever thought of dying to kill yourself Like a tired old record you get played out And you'll be on your own Buried in the ground Well, I remember that expression for the rest of my life My answer to the party line, up in and go get her Reach inside my kitchen for that old carving knife To mess up all the people, make 'em see a little better, hey Woke up with a new song Woke up with a tightrope Living room is empty Did you even miss me? I knew about the last time This could be the last time Smoke going up the chimney Can I take you with me? Living room is empty Dead with the memory I can't get over now Roll over now If you ever thought of dying to kill yourself Like a tired old record you get played out And you'll be on your own Buried in the ground
