Lifeline

These feel like end times
I'm seeing strange signs
We're crossing hard lines and we ain't never crossing back
Stuck here in a cycle of non-stop news
Stagger 'round like children who have been abused
Keeping it together with our pills and booze
All history can tell us is when we're born to lose

Throw me a lifeline, baby
I'm a desperate man
Got to hold on to each other
These are hard times, baby
Got to do what we can
One way or another
I want to make it with you
I want to make it with you

There ain't no new rhymes
There ain't no new pick-up lines
So let's have a good time
Everything's been said before
I used to wake up in my clothes
Now I wander the streets
And it's only love that I feel complete
You know the love of the desperate always tastes so sweet
But forget about that, baby
I'm just glad we could meet

Throw me a lifeline, baby
I'm a desperate man
Got to hold on to each other
These are hard times, baby
Got to do what we can
One way or another

Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline

I used to wake up in my clothes, now I wander the streets
(Throw me a lifeline)
Now you know much more about me than I wish you would know
I try to keep my shit together but I lose all control
(Throw me a lifeline)
But I lose all control, I lose all control

Throw me a lifeline, baby
I'm a desperate man
Got to hold on to each other
Yeah, these are hard times, baby
Got to do what we can
One way or another
Throw me a lifeline, baby
I'm a desperate man
Got to hold on to each other
Yeah, these are hard times, baby
Got to do what we can
One way or another
I want to make it with you
Hmm, I want to make it with you
