damn

the year started at the back of a train
of thought facing the elevator
in an awkward way

everyone drunk off of their faces,
just singing our praises
wanting in on the magic, say

midnight on the second floor counting
while you were in the corner joking about
how it would be your last
how it would be your last

when we were outside having a smoke
i heard you asking around hey,
could you find me some coke

every year is just a little bit darker
then the darker gets darker
then it's dark as hell

by now you don't need a good reason
you climb up the highest of the trees and
you laughed yourself clean
yeah you laughed yourself clean

back inside where the party had started
eyes shut, feet quick, really feeling ecstatic
feelings come then they go some place
little high big lows in any case

a good friend is a good friend, no doubt
but sometimes a good friend ain't enough to grab ya and
pull you out

damn the work damn the music
damn the fun that's missing
damn the drugs damn the friends
damn the phone that's ringing
damn the night damn the party
damn the song that's spinning and
trying to lift us up
but it only drags us down

the year started at the back of a train
of thought facing the elevator
in an awkward way

made a call from the side room
"hey ma' can i come home soon?
i'm lying on the floor in the bathroom"

i've had it with this place
we're all going insane
i've had it with this place

well you've been feeling lost now
living in the background
hanging with a rough crowd
thinking of the times you had it all figured out

now everyone is passed out
blurry on the edge now
empty as an effigy waiting to come down

i've had it with this place
we're all going insane
i've had it with this place
we've all gone insane

damn the work damn the music
damn the fun that's missing
damn the drugs damn the friends
damn the phone that's ringing
damn the night damn the party
damn the song that's spinning

damn the room damn the street
damn the scene listening
damn the home damn the dog
damn the planet watching

damn the mood damn the people
damn the door that's closing
damn the time damn the ride
damn the drive that's missing
damn the home damn the dog
damn the life that's winning
