Here I am I'm the unrecovered one
|
You can talk to me if you want to if you want to
|
you can shun me.
|
|
I stumble through the streets with my pride and my arrogance
|
I spit right in your face when you invite me to dance
|
I go months and years at a time terminally unique
|
With my pills and my bottle of wine
|
I am very very very very very very very very weak.
|
|
I can't get out of bed the hangover's got my head
|
So I forgot to take the garbage out and put the kid to bed
|
We're all wandering around in my house
|
like the night of the living dead
|
I'm someone that you can look at and be glad
|
you're not me instead.
|
|
Underneath your sobriety and your piety and your quiet
|
there's a human being there who's got a spirit and has to
|
learn how to fly it.
|
|
The controls are on the panel
|
and the manual's in the flotation device. But if it comes to
|
using that you've already crashed through thin ice.
|
|
I'm not saying I'm better than you I feel like you're saying
|
you're better than me
|
You say "Tough luck I sobered up and now I'm running the
|
company"
|
Your Higher Power he's like my God he'll take you out in a
|
flash you'll see
|
And do the same for all your loved ones and the ones like me
|
you pity.
