I THOUGHT IT WAS A NEW DAY   I TURNED MY SIINS AGAINST THEMSELVES   WE WERE SLEEPIN' IN THE SHEETS BABE   I WOKE UP IN THE AIR ABOVE MY COUCH….   GUESS I LOST MY REDHEADED BLUES   I SWAPPED 'EM FOR A THOUSAND PAIR OF SHOES   & THE REFLECTION IN A BATTING EYE   THAT SCREAMS FOR ALL THE LUCK I'LL NEVER LOSE   (A LIE?)   I'M TRYIN' ON A BEERY DRUNK   YOUR LEAVIN' ME THE FIRE IN YOUR EYES   TO BE A SHIP THAT'S ALREADY SUNK   AND NEVER REALLY STOOD THE TEST OF TIME   MY LINE'S BEEN FLANKED, IT SEEMS I'VE FLUNKED   I'VE TANGLED WITH THE CAPTAIN   WALKED THE PLANK AND I SUNK (SO IT'S BYE)   * * * * *   I'M FROM A RIVER HOME, I'M FROM A TOWER   THAT'S MADE OF BONES….   I FROM THE SKYLINE OF A GREAT BIG TOWN   LIFE IN TIME WILL COUNT YOUR FRIENDS   I'VE SEEN 'EM FAIL TO SLOW, SAD ENDS   SO I'M THINKIN' ALL THE WORDS YOU'VE THUNK   & I'M TYIN' ON A BEERY DRUNK….
