Remastered February 2, 2016.

lyrics

Dancing down along the tracks - lost in a daze,
Never could relax, my feet'll never keep up pace,
Ceiling fan dumb dizzy and I know it's for the best.

Life simple gets when the time's almost gone,
Luck of lots that in further on,
Simple's now just like a rotten mess.

Well, I've never done right, always chosen wrong,
Lived out my life like the words to a song
Sung by a guy who looks a little like me I guess.

You know I read once in a book that to dust we shall return
And I only ever took that little bit I earned
Still holding on to nothing? Yeah, I suppose.

You were always the tonic and lime to my gin,
The hardest sense to see myself within,
That the way it always goes.

Putting miles & miles & 3000 hours,
Burnt down houses and piles of tires there
Yay for but all of these dirty clothes.

I felt a lot of love I never thought I'd feel
Felt allowed to love, love allowed, love aloud now dear,
You know we were all the way down deep.

Fire me now because I just can't quit,
Hauling down emotions all the while my heart stays big,
Yay for nothing, yay for all the love.

About nine years now spent tumbling down this drain,
Notice how my eyes'll never look the same,
Yay for nothing, yay for all the love.

I'm going to take a sip from the old cup of life.
Hallelujah.
