|
I had a funny dream and I came to screaming
|
That I was in a funny house but it was kind of mine
|
And I was with you only it wasn't you
|
It happened in the past but it was somehow now
|
|
It put it into focus, things became clear
|
I had to plan something I handed in my notice
|
Even though to most it looked random
|
My heart had left I was just going in tandem
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
(I smoked one too many cigarettes
|
I heard one too many lies
|
And I've gambled on too many bets
|
I lost it all to this life)
|
I'm packing up my desk I've put it into boxes (...to this life)
|
Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave
|
|
I'll leave one evening be seen off
|
At a party for my parting in a bar
|
It starts on the early side and ends in a gutter
|
With a fumble with a colleague in a car
|
|
No more alarm that barks in the dark
|
With the beeping like darts to the heart
|
Yes, the maze it does look deep
|
And days are over for dozing on my cheek
|
|
(I smoked one too many cigarettes
|
I heard one too many lies
|
And I've gambled on too many bets
|
I lost it all to this life)
|
I'm packing up my desk I've put it into boxes (...to this life)
|
Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave
|
|
Read the funny card signed by all
|
That was purchased by the person I will always recall
|
Lock away my labors, steel stationary
|
A kiss on the lips or a grin in a grip
|
|
I had a funny dream and I came to screaming
|
That I was in a funny house but it was kind of mine
|
And I was with you only it wasn't you
|
It happened in the past but it was somehow now
|
|
I came to it noon through the tune of a spoon
|
In a mug in a room, but I knew very soon
|
That the mug in the room, was the mug yours truly
|
Because I never stood up for what I wanted to do
|
|
(I smoked one too many cigarettes
|
I heard one too many lies
|
And I've gambled on too many bets
|
I lost it all to this life)
|
I'm packing up my desk I've put it into boxes (...to this life)
|
Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave
|
|
(I smoked one too many cigarettes
|
I heard one too many lies
|
And I've gambled on too many bets
|
I lost it all too this...
|
I smoked one too many cigarettes
|
I heard one too many lies
|
And I've gambled on too many bets
|
I lost it all too this life)
|
I'm packing up my desk I've put it into boxes (...to this life)
|
Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave (...to this life)
