i’m getting weaker now   the fire’s dying down   but still i’m wondering   how this turns out   i’m getting sober   and i could still make it home   i swear it’s not that bad   as time can attest   i resolve to be a man about town   singing all the lonely dirges of my youth   forgive me, girl   i’ve been immodest and a fool   don’t say i’m not that bad   i can tell it’s a lie   i’m saying this now   and i’ll regret this conversation’s every word   these things sometimes have to be said   i resolve to be a man about town   singing all the lonely dirges of my youth   and i resolve to never fear and never doubt   i’ll never run again   as long as i have ground   back and forth   in and out   say it with me now   can only wait so long   back and forth   in and out   sing it with me now   can only wait so long   i resolve to be a man about town   singing all the lonely dirges of my youth....
