Forty Four

Heading down to Roanoke

I'm dying quick and life's a joke

Johnny tells me life's not fair

I hope he's doing better there

And the best days of our lives have passed us by

Nobody stops to think that they should wonder

Why we all live our lives like we're counting the days

Talk me off the ledge again

Tell me that the world won't end

Put me back where I belong

Cause I don't think that I'll last down here on the ground for too long

Rock and roll is dying slow

But I can't seem to let it go

My friends are broke and out of phase

We're stuck inside a mangled maze

But won't someone stop the train

And wonder why

The sum of it all is we're too fucked to even

Try to admit that we can't reach the brakes

Talk me off the ledge again

Tell me that the world won't end

Now put me back where I belong

Cause I won't last down here for long

Talk me off the ledge again

Thanks for nothing my old friend

Now put me back where I belong

Losing my mind on the floor of the saint

How far can we bend

Before we all break

You can try all you want

But you know that some things never change

Talk me off the ledge again

Tell me that the world won't end

Now put me back where I belong

Losing my mind on the floor of the saint

How far can we bend

Before we all break

Now the sun's coming up and I'm breathing in paint

You can try all you want

But you know that some things never change
