Lost My Shape

You used to feel like a smoker Shivering in the cold Waiting outside the bar Til the opener's over But now you feel like a drinker Twenty days off the sauce Down at the liquor store Trying to call your sponsor You used to feel like the forest fire burning But now you feel like a child Throwing tantrums for your turn You used to sound like a prophet And everyone wanted to know How you could tell the truth Without losing that soft glow But now you feel like a salesman Closing another deal Or some drunk ship captain Raging after the white whale You used to feel like the forest fire burning But now you feel like a child Throwing tantrums and then some You used to feel like the prodigal returning But now you hate what you've made And you want to watch it burn
