lyrics

I don't understand,
Why anybody's holdin' my hand,
Hang onto your friends,
The insanity may just never end,
The historical tradition of the human condition is pain,
So form a new line all money is worthless in time anyways.

It was a cocaine conversation,
Pointless thoughts that never begin,
Up until it's seven AM,
The same thing again and again,
Philosophize about your deviant life just confess,
Drag your drugged nose across the mirror again never rest.

Pursue the nightlife do it again,
Go to the toilet you'll be everybody's friend,
Then back at home you are so restless and alone,
Just take another sleeping pill and put down the phone.

Short was his name,
A hustler within his game,
Like a beach covered in sand,
Trash in a little trash can,
Standin' on the block with his bucket and his mop for some wine,
Him and his wife were so tight they're gettin' drunk every night on my dime.

It was a street level conversation,
Takin' all my money again,
Two dollars out the front door,
They never stop they're askin' for more,
She's got one, two, three teeth less is better I guess for a date,
Longshoreman, truckers, vagrants and suckers still wait.

Pursue the nightlife do it again,
Buy another round at the bar for some trim,
Take her back to your place tell her everything is fine,
Show her all the things you hide behind your black eyes.

You are a drunk in a river of piss,
Starin' out into the abyss,
You are a drunk in a river of piss,
Lost without the things that you miss,
You are a drunk in a river of piss,
Just a drunk in a river of piss....
