Dialling 911
Crime of the century
Call St. Paul, I'm going home
Just hand me my crutch
Ten bucks say I'll make it alone
This ain't the first time
That I've been flat on my back
Looks like I'm out of cigarettes
And the strain has made me crack
Stranded at an airport
Screen up front says I've missed my flight
Stomach's grumbling
Must be time I grab a bite
This ain't the first time
That I've been a hungry dog
Down to my last spare change
Can hardly breathe with all this smog
Better buy the dye
My grey roots have started to show
People shave their heads
I just pretend I do not know
This ain't the first time
That I've lied about my age
Just remember to wake me up
Once you reached that stage
Switch off the TV
I think I've seen this movie before
Take my word, it's a lousy bore
And I can't fake it anymore
This makes no sense
Come on, explain how can it be
Everybody loves my car
But nobody wants me
This ain't the first time
My heart's broke in two
Call out my trusty barman
Yeah, he'll know what to do
No one in the world
Prefers a punch to a kiss
Still every time I come around
Everyone acts like I don't exist
This ain't the first time
I've come to hate myself
All these VIPs right here
Make me wish I was someone else
Switch off the radio
I'm sure I've hear this song before
Bring back memories that leave me sore
Now I can't sing it anymore
For every reason
You might find for me to stay
I'll give ten million
Why I should fly away
This ain't the first time
I've spent more than I could afford
Send my mom the best birthday wishes
Don't tell her I'm in a morgue
Call St. Paul, I'm going home
Just hand me my crutch
Ten bucks say I'll make it alone
This ain't the first time
That I've been flat on my back
Looks like I'm out of cigarettes
And the strain has made me crack
Stranded at an airport
Screen up front says I've missed my flight
Stomach's grumbling
Must be time I grab a bite
This ain't the first time
That I've been a hungry dog
Down to my last spare change
Can hardly breathe with all this smog
Better buy the dye
My grey roots have started to show
People shave their heads
I just pretend I do not know
This ain't the first time
That I've lied about my age
Just remember to wake me up
Once you reached that stage
Switch off the TV
I think I've seen this movie before
Take my word, it's a lousy bore
And I can't fake it anymore
This makes no sense
Come on, explain how can it be
Everybody loves my car
But nobody wants me
This ain't the first time

Call out my trusty barman

Send my mom the best birthday wishes
Don't tell her I'm in a morgue
