Well every day
The people play
To drown themselves
In the whiskey water
Where's feeling's high
It's double time
I could be wrong
I need a glass
Just to swab me over
We take a drink
We start to see
I don't recall when
I felt so sober
Caught in the mire,
That's where I am.
Do you understand?
It's such a shame
We know we've found
We're losing ground,
I don't recall
Caught in the mire,
That's where I am.
Do you understand?
Caught in the mire
That's where I am

Yeah you got what you asked for,
You wanted something from me.
You took all 'til I had none,
Now there's no sympathy.
You say you want me to come back,
But there ain't nothing that I need.
There's a time and place
To step back from what used to be.
Watching you walk away from here...
I'm torn down.
I'm torn down.
Nobody gave you a licence
Don't? round my home.
Why would I be with you
When I can be on my own?
The people you were deceiving
They saw through you in the end.
Trying hard to be polite
But it seems that I can't pretend.
Watching the empty shell that's left...
I'm torn down.
I'm torn down.
Well, yeah!
I'm torn down.
Well, yeah!

Time, that's what I said.
Seems like you're losing out,
You better commit.
Take it all, the rest is a blur.
Must be some other way
To have your fun.
'Cause you felt deep inside
You were way out of line, yeah.
Pick it up when you've had enough.
Say that it's hear in the end,
Or maybe?
Understand we all have a place
If you think that it's some kind of game
Well show some grace.
'Cause you felt in your heart
It was wrong from the start.
'Cause you felt deep inside
You were way out of line,
And you felt in your heart

They say it's easy
Taking money from a fool,
Well that should teach me, yeah,
How to break a rule.
'Cause it's a mean time out there
Now that the golden days are through.
Outside it's shining,
But it's my time to cry.
No silver lining, yeah,
Only bullets in the sky.
'Cause it's a mean time out there,
Don't let the good times pass you by.
'Cause it's a mean time out there
Once the golden days are through.
I said it's a mean time out there

Say that I'm wrong
Well I'm feeling alright
Pretty hard to take
You know I won't care
If you're taking your share
Even when there's pride at stake
In a dirt trap
Wide awake
In a dirt trap, yeah now
Where you'll stay
Well it's always the same
I'm feeling your shame
Well there's nothing to tell
Except that I wish you well
Alright, now
In a dirt trap
Wide awake
In a dirt trap
Where you'll stay
In a dirt trap
Wide awake
In a dirt trap, yeah now

All I want to know there inside
is Those whose wanted more will soon find
The journey i must be in could be long
And all the time it takes?
Time will show
Through the fields I will go
The place i need to be in sooth my heart
The land I long to see keeps me calm
Time will show
Through the fields I will go

I'm on my way
Rad times where all can stay.
Just moving on
I paid the price and then I'm gone.
Sincere.
Now I make it clear.
There was truth in what you said.
Words that stayed and spun
A log inside my head.
No more needing to be told.
Now I find I can believe this hardened sole.
How did it end?
We're driven round the bend.
They claim the prize and then they're gone.
Sincere.
Now I make it clear.
There was truth in what you said.
Words that stayed and spun
A log inside my head.
No more needing to be told.
Now I find I can believe this hardened sole.
There was truth in what you said.
Words that stayed and spun
A log inside my head.
No more needing to be told.

Just a face
In the crowd
Will the old gods
Stand their ground?
In the war
Fought at knife
Will we all see
The morning light?
Often wonder what a change does
What is just that same old song?
Only time would rearrange
We were going at this hammer and tongs
Is is fair
To lay blame,
When we've all seen
Ourselves in shame?
Few may care
In the dawn
If the band plays
On and on
No one knew that
Time was?
Singing that just that same old song
Only hoped we would precede him (?)
To lay down the hammer and tongs
No one knew that time was?
Singing just that same old song
Only hoped we would precede him (?)

Struggling with confusion,
Disillusionment too,
Turn a man into his shadow,
Crying out from hell.
Between his nightmare visions
He sees nothing, only words.
Mad with the beggar's mind, he's but a stranger,
He's been a stranger to himself.
Suspended on a rope
Inside a bucket down a hole.
Hands are torn and bloody
From the scratching at his soul.
Behind his nightmare visions
He sees nothing, only words.
Mad with a beggar's mind, he's but a stranger,
He's been a stranger to himself.
Between his nightmare visions
He sees nothing, only words.
Mad with the beggar's mind, he's but a stranger,

Sitting on his backside
He feels like a king.
Handing out the orders,
Well that's his thing.
Says it was the first time
His work load was high,
Dishing out the wages
Is such a ride.
Seems I'm moaning,
Fat cat groaning.
Smoking like a bastard,
He kicks back and smiles.
? Pays his lunches
Says it was the first time
His pay cheque was high.
Pissing off the workers,
He'll suck you dry.
Seems I'm moaning,
Fat cat groaning.
Seems I'm moaning,

Every other night
Keeping out of sight
'Cause I can't stay here
I'm moving here
You've been lying to yourself
So before there's nothing left
Move out again
It's just a shame
Move on again
Take the blame
Didn't think I could
Make it understood
Couldn't face the truth
I was in the wrong
I was lying to myself
Knew I wouldn't?
So I'm asking for your help
Move on again
And take the blame
Move on again
And feel the shame
You've been lying to yourself
Knew you wouldn't?
So I'm asking for your help
Feeling all this shame
And before there's nothing left
Move on again
And take the blame
Now move on again

Out all night, sleep all day
I don't care whether people say
That's my only prayer
Now she's taking (taken?)
Forsaken
You don't know like I know
About the way she made me?
Others had been I'll shave my hair
But won't take their advice
Now she's taking
Forsaken
Just crying
She's taking (taken?)
Forsaken

I heard it said when I was born
Living won't be easy for long
By the time, yeah, that I was grown
Realise what they have done wrong
If you have the time
Maybe soon you'll obey
Yeah, right now
When you lose your mind
Remember soon you'll
Pay their way
If I was dead they wouldn't mourn
Still I'm here and wishing you would go
'Cause often times, yeah, that I was tired
Of all the foolish curses you'd throw
If you have the time
Maybe soon you'll obey
Yeah, right now
When you lose your mind
Rememember soon you'll
Pay their way
This ain't the brightest day I've seen before
We're in a sorry state, the sinner takes all
This ain't the brightest day I've seen before
We're in a sorry state, the sinner takes all
This ain't the brightest day, not like before

See them passing by
The?
Never asking why
It all gets left unsaid
Well, I know now it's over
I'm lonely and sober
Often cross that line
You thought that you were safe
No one's feeling can
? you'll take the blame
Well, I know now it's over
I'm lonely and sober
I would give up all my time
Each thing I own (?)
Couldn't stand the strain?
I'm trying, I am
I would give up all my time
Each thing I own
Couldn't stand the strain and?

You know that I've been trying
To find my way back home
I stretched so far I could not see
That I was all alone
Looking for the answer
Was all I ever knew
And no amount of crying
Will make my dream true
Something here inside my heart
Seemed wrong, I know
Nothing's clear then fall apart
Roll on, roll on (hard?)
I've been losing my way, yeah
I've been losing my way
Well your head was full of questions
Still you spoke your mind
You thought no one would notice
When the truth was far behind
You ask if I've been
The dusk until the dawn
I can't accept your ruling
For me the line's been drawn
Something here inside my heart
Seemed wrong, I know
Nothing's clear then fall apart
? rule on
I've been losing my way, yeah
I've been losing my way
Something here inside my heart
Seemed wrong, I know
Nothing's clear then fall apart
Roll on?

Who knows about the cards
For the man who holds the ace?
Whatever he has lost
Some had said it was a waste
And the days are growing short
And the nights you lay awake
And the sad can be bored (?)
Couldn't bring myself to stay
You'll find
They'll change their minds
It's still the same
No one left now, an empty space
Time is coming to leave this place
Moving on now, see you there
We're miles from nowhere
Nowhere

In a small that?
To a place where we are free
There's a sad man giving orders
? you or me
And his hand is rough (?)
And he's playing tough (?)
'Cause?
Wasting?
See in sad man's? quarter
I being to realise
When the fat cat California (?)
Even then he'll grow a moustache (?)
And the sad man thinks it's fair
Taking someone else's share
Seems he has got to learn
Growing up without a friend (?)
When the mad time fall upon us
In the?
Some of those can?
Are the ones who? feast
Yeah, right now
And the sad man cannot?
When we take the other end
All the?

Sunday morning passed me by;
Left me in a sleepy, sorry haze.
? yes it's time.
Light a smoke, it keeps me wide awake.
If you're asking for my help,
Don't even try.
Pistons moving, making pace.
Leading me towards the foolish pace
Downturned faces everywhere
Tears and moans have got me all the way.
If you're asking for my help,
Don't even try.
Don't even tell me
Which way to go.
I just had to raise a smile
Inside this hole.
If you're asking for my help,
Don't even try.
Time wouldn't tell me
Which way to go.
I just had to raise a smile
Inside this hole.
Time wouldn't tell me
Which way to go.
I just had to raise a smile
