Shit Creek

I'm gonna run what's the point in all this I've seen it all now and I must admit Being a beggar on an oily old rag Is not a living for me I'm starving hungry out of money and luck I'd chew the ass off a low flying duck Protocol here is sodomy style greed And it's a worry for me I'm not a member of the modern day There's someone at it in the bed that I made They drained the carat out of all the gold hearts And now they're coming for me Ain't nobody gonna see me cry I'll be long gone before it's time to die It's that, or join the material world soon Or they'll be comin' for me And when I yawn it's because you spoiled my dream I was in nirvana dreaming all the right things You came along when all the money runs dry And point the finger at me You haven't heard a single word that I've said I know you'd rather see this little guy dead I sweep your litter and I hang up your coat There's noting in it for me Sorry man I'm gonna have my way I wanna lie here in the bed that I made Thank you porter I can take it from here The early night is on me 'Cause ain't nobody gonna see me down I'm looking forward to when the time comes 'round When being alive is being a human again It's sentimental to me I've seen it all now and I must admit It's hard to row in a creek of shit Say goodbye now for the very last time And take the paddle from me It's kind of sad we gotta end this way I'm starting over in a brand new day Being a beggar on an oily old rag Is not a living for me I'm not offended by the modern day I burn a candle for the friends that I made See you round, maybe in heaven some time Don't put your money on me Ain't nobody gonna see me cry Twenty five is not a time to die Mothership's got her boarding hatch down And she's waiting on me
