empty bottles on the porch, drained like the thoughts were from my head
I spent some time collecting them on the terrace outside my bed
I got lost in the streets between where Verdun and Vendome meet
had you draw me a map so I could find my way back
hey hey I won't soon forget your missed phone calls, my hand rolled cigarettes
hey hey I wish that I could stay, but once I'm on that metro line, I'll be on my way
there were holes in my shoes; I was singing the freight train blues
and just like the cheap tattoos, I won't be forgetting you
The van broke down on our way out of town
stress, sweat, and gasoline. There was nowhere I'd rather be
I gave you all my best. I've been awake for days and it's time for me to rest.

You ask what's got me down, I don't frequent this part of town
I don't know my way around
I'm always running late, it's hard to concentrate
my nerves have been shaking since I started my day
Sometimes it feels like I'm caving in
Hey friend tell me what's new, let's get together for a beer or two
I always drink my fill
I know it's getting late, I find it hard to concentrate
when the spirits are saturating my veins
Sometime it feels like I'm caving in
Walk past the corner store, nothing good happens after 4 in the morning
hey Rob it's time to head home
You said I made my bed and now I have to lie in it
well I think I'd rather sleep in the street
so if I'm the burden, well goddamn, mercy me
at times I feel deserted but I'll still land on my own two feet
You ask what's got me down, I don't frequent this part of town
I don't know my way around
I'm always running late, it's hard to concentrate
my nerves have been shaking since I started my day
Sometimes it feels like I'm caving in
sometimes my mind feels like a prison
so from this bottle I'll drink deep
then send me out to sea
