From The Skyline Of A Great Big Town

I THOUGHT IT WAS A NEW DAY I TURNED MY SIINS AGAINST THEMSELVES WE WERE SLEEPIN' IN THE SHEETS BABE I WOKE UP IN THE AIR ABOVE MY COUCH.... GUESS I LOST MY REDHEADED BLUES I SWAPPED 'EM FOR A THOUSAND PAIR OF SHOES & THE REFLECTION IN A BATTING EYE THAT SCREAMS FOR ALL THE LUCK I'LL NEVER LOSE (A LIE?) I'M TRYIN' ON A BEERY DRUNK YOUR LEAVIN' ME THE FIRE IN YOUR EYES TO BE A SHIP THAT'S ALREADY SUNK AND NEVER REALLY STOOD THE TEST OF TIME MY LINE'S BEEN FLANKED, IT SEEMS I'VE FLUNKED I'VE TANGLED WITH THE CAPTAIN WALKED THE PLANK AND I SUNK (SO IT'S BYE) * * * * * I'M FROM A RIVER HOME, I'M FROM A TOWER THAT'S MADE OF BONES.... I FROM THE SKYLINE OF A GREAT BIG TOWN LIFE IN TIME WILL COUNT YOUR FRIENDS I'VE SEEN 'EM FAIL TO SLOW, SAD ENDS SO I'M THINKIN' ALL THE WORDS YOU'VE THUNK & I'M TYIN' ON A BEERY DRUNK....
