got no gold watch, got no Valentine
got nothin’ that you wanted
you’re one of the desperate people
life for you ain’t what they promised

so you take a walk down by the water
take a drag on your last cigarette
and you think about sinking under
changing times, you break and I live

what comes next?
all your hope is gone
where you gonna get the muscle to walk on
when every day that passes
a little bit stranger than the last one?

look at the sky
all you can see
is a white wall
blanking into
each day, each day
every day that passes
every day, every day
every day that passes you by

read no books, you drink no champagne
warm your hands on trashcan fires
they think you’re some spoiled heiress
don’t they know your body’s tired?

so you take a hike out in a blizzard
you cross against the light on purpose
the dentist says you’ll catch your death
well, you should be so lucky
we all should be so lucky

what comes next?
all your hope is gone
where you gonna get the muscle to walk on
when every day that passes
a little bit stranger than the last one?

look at the sky
all you can see
is a white wall
blanking into
each day, each day
every day that passes
every day, every day
every day that passes you by
