Waste Away

Some people are like gravy

Spilled on God's Sunday shirt

Some people are always getting better

Some people just get worseSome people only waste so long

Before they waste away

Some people only waste so long

Until they waste away, waste away nowSome people think they're dangerous

Well, maybe just to little boys

Some people always reaching for the sky

As if they had a choiceSome people only waste so long

Before they waste away

Some people only waste so long

Before they waste away, waste away nowAnd I want to know

And I don't want to hear them cry

So I gotta go man, I gotta go

I gotta go now, I gotta go nowSome people think they're lucky

Like they thought of heaven first

Some people been holdin' back their love so long

I think they're 'bout to burstSome people only waste so long

Before they waste away

Some people only waste so long

Before they waste away, waste away nowSome people only waste so long

Before they waste away

Some people only waste so long

Before they waste away, waste away now

Waste away, waste away now, waste away
