Did you ever wake up in the morning

With a freight-train running through your head

An empty whiskey bottle by your pillow

And a burned out unfinished cigarette

The night went up in smoke

Life is but a joke man

But I see nobody laughing



Did you ever live a day

Like the next day would never come

Blood's dripping on the floor, but who cares

Who needs you anyway

You're a stranger to yourself

And this ain't no joke man

But I can't stop laughing



[chorus]

Greedy, angry people make me

Run around in circles backwards

Down the lonely road that keeps me

Run around in circles



How I want to try again

Excuse me can you lead me

I just want to try again

Excuse me can you lead the way



Just take me by the hand

How I want to



Did you ever find yourself drowning

In a dark and crowded bar

The barman keeps on pouring and you're kissing everyone

The night will never end

'Cause my horse is still saddled up

That's why I am still laughing



[chorus]
