It's so strange that you always say the way you feel you do,
I only saw you yesterday down my road sniffing glue.
The people don't know nothing about the way you think you are,
And you can never change now you've gotten so far.

A burnt-out guitar playing ticket to ride,
Thats all you're gonna need in a day in your life.
A burnt-out guitar playing ticket to ride,
And the rain don't bother you no more.

Singing a song all alone in your room,
You never knew it could come so soon.
It's all because you're living, Rags to Riches.

You're going straight to work today, it's fifteen against two,
You're there for twenty minuets but that doesn't bother you.
the train has gone but fate has come to take you on your way,
You're getting hight and nothing is going to get to you today.

A burnt-out guitar playing ticket to ride,
Thats all you're gonna need in a day in your life.
A burnt-out guitar playing ticket to ride,
And the rain don't bother you no more.

Singing a song all alone in your room,
You never knew it could come so soon.
It's all because you're living, Rags to Riches.
