Out on the corner of what I want, and what I intend to get
day drinking and dreaming of you, I let
the ashtray smoke my last cigaretteOnce I had a casual acquaintance with my impending doom
years ago she promised me some day soon
I'd howl at the moon from room to roomI ain't transcending much of nothing
I've been down in it, I ain't free
Weren't no experiment - these seven years they went
like a life out of me
Clowning on the corner of almost gone but maybe not just yet
there's still a little left to pawn and the bones aren't set
The cast is slack, the plaster's wetStepping up the escalator singing hell I am out of here
past the predetermined terminals of tears
the wings are warm, the runway's clearI ain't transcending much of nothing
I'm still down in it, I ain't free
Weren't no experiment - these seven years they went
like a life out of meMaybe all the world's a hollow recreation, my desperate bretheren
hallowed blue hallucination we play to win
put your right foot out, put your right foot inBut it's a useful little illusion that'll lose you for a song
in the beautiful confusion you've been down and counting onand it's a useful little illusion that'll lose you for a song
in the beautiful confusion that you've been down and counting on
I ain't transcending nothing
I'm still down in it, I ain't free
weren't no experiment - hell every tear was ran
like a life out of meOut on the corner what I want, what I intend to get
day drinking and dreaming of you, I let
the ashtray smoke my last cigarette
