Jerry Only Knows (Live)

You were high on crack cocaine with Jerry Only
In those days I was feeling pretty lonely
And I realized that I was an agent of the estranged
My eyes were red from every word I'd read
My eyes were red

I was drunk up on the stage and some were listening
I've been dreaming all my life of a thousand eyes glistening
As I walk upon the stone and pray to my jury of captives, who
Know my songs and sing along
Please sing along

I was passed out on the couch with friendly faces
In a manic state for weeks I was happy and I was going places
Until I felt alone that night, a ghost, wrecked, miserable sight
Saved by a friend, I'm so sorry
I will change again

I was trying to break your heart and you weren't helping
I couldn't keep myself from tears
But you were only empty
You didn't say anything

I wanted to jump from this stage to my death
But I was saved
Yeah, I guess that I was saved
I'm sorry I get that way

I guess things aren't so bad
But honestly, I'm tired of sleeping and sleeping alone
