Howled at the moon I did

Yesterday was a merry day, as far as I'm concerned

Now a days I don't get high like I used to

All my memories start to fade

The midnight sun it burned, burned my skin

My blood drains from the spigot, the street cars hurry by

Now a days I get caught up in between

Don't know right from wrong, Im a fool

Say you wanna keep the light on girl

Here's the basic facts you're gonna have to face

Ain't a page left to write on girl, still you gotta work three jobs just to pay your bills

I had the world in the palm of my hands, yes I did

I could be free whenever I chose

Now a days it ain't so easy breathing

I don't trust the air that's in my lungs

Say you wanna keep the light on girl

Here's the basic facts you're gonna have to face

Ain't a page left to write on girl,

Still you gotta work three jobs just to pay your bills
