I was sucking on a cigarette
Where did that [bad word] from?
They're the pennies for the slot machines
Sells you back your dreams
It's fine in [bad word]  boy
It's fine with you

Why don't we try it again now
But my heart won't sing
Until the story's all been told
That she buckled my spine, tattered my soul
Oh ain't it a wonder

Didn't that tall man say
There's gonna be a better way
I'm still lying in the muck
Knocking down with you

Always saying "this girl, that girl,
Look, oh, never never
Can I stay here forever?"
Never, never, never you mind
Find it somewhere over the railing

Didn't you always say
There has to be a better way
Oh I'm still lying in the muck
Knocking down with you

Yes I was sucking on yesterday
Where did that [bad word] from?
Said they're the pennies from the slot machines
Sells you back your dream
That's fine in [bad word]  boy
So it's fine with...oh, well now
But didn't that tall man say
There's a better way
Oh oh oh oh oh
and...I'm in love with you
