What the $#&@ do I do all day laying in bed
Caught in a web of desire
What the $#&@ can it mean all the noise in my head

Hanging my heart on a wire

Lost and found and lost again

Making daddy proud
Got my tongue all caught in my throat
Trying to tell you I'm down


The 46th floor has a beautiful view
But I'm living down in the ba!@&(t

And I got no reception so I can't call you
And you can't call me so we're even


Leaving town with nothing left
Making daddy proud
How can a man get anything done

Feeling this way? I'm down

Listening to records about high school and girls

Caught in a meaningless circle
Strangled to death by your ropy gold curls
Watching the sky--turning purple


All the drugs didn't do me no good
I'm sick of non-stop anesthetic

And I want the world to remember my name
But I know you'll probably forget it
