How much is enough? That's a really tough question.
You ought to give it some thought sooner or later.
Got off of the hooch and the crack and skipped the smack down--
But then you had to find yourself a lower low.

Doc ain't lookin' at me; says I got the disease.
Now what did you expect? You spent your life on your knees.
It was never too late. Tell me--what were you afraid of?
Do the numbers in your head or get out your calculator.

You don't need to panic now; you got time to do that later.
You're the Jack who's chasing Danny outside in the snow.

I got to meet him once, and he was really, really cool.
And when I think about everything's that he's been through,
I wish he'd call me on the phone and take my [bad word] to school.
