I'm like a record player
 I keep goin' round
 with a needle in my arm
 making someone else's sound
 and lately I've been dreaming
 of blue and empty skies
 but nothing like that ever
 crosses red and weary eyes

 I've been traveling with bottles
 working close with cans
 sitting up for hours with my best friends in a van
 Now, they say that this ain't living
 but I don't know what they mean
 cuz I don't feel dead, and baby, you look alive to me
 it's the only game that I know how to play
 [bad word] ]
 The time, the time, to say goodbye
 passed us long ago.
 and I would say I've overstayed
 my [bad word] but you know
 I don't think I'm ever going home

 I don't need a doctor
 cuz anyone can see
 that I had all of these shots
 but, lord, I'm still sick as I can be
 I think I need to rest my head
 so [bad word] with me
 lay down here beside me 
 keep me warm while I sleep

 There's trouble on the way
 huh! You'd best believe
 there always is don't worry
 sit and have a drink with me
 When we go all we got is these days that we made
 and I don't wanna waste them being wistful or afraid

 Without all of you I'd be even lower down
 You know what I wanna say but I can't get it out

 The time, the time, to say goodbye
 passed us long ago.
 and I would say we've overstayed
 our [bad word] but you know
 I don't think we're ever going home
 I don't think we're ever going home, oh no!
