[00:38.50]i used to know reality,
[00:44.58]i embraced it like a fiend
[00:49.90]now i just lay around this old hotel
[00:57.10]reading life magazine
[01:08.64]i get up in the morning, i shake like a leaf
[01:14.07]when i stand on the street corner, i look like a thief
[01:20.61]i'm only getting by
[01:22.85]by the skin of my teeth
[01:39.64]i lost my sense of direction
[01:47.48]or maybe i just lost my touch
[01:54.70]i used to be my own best friend
[01:59.91]but i got to hanging around myself too much
[02:05.19]i knew it wouldn't be easy
[02:11.06]somebody might've told me how rough it could get
[02:17.18]somebody might've let me down easy
[02:22.46]with a kind hearted word, well i haven't heard it yet
[02:41.74]
[02:42.54]i read a few books about a few guys
[02:49.00]they were losers from the start
[02:54.29]they rambled the earth from end to end
[03:00.52]but they never did lose their heart
[03:06.83]me, i go to bed, i don't sleep too good
[03:12.06]i'm dangling by a thread because i uh, well...
[03:19.40]i'm hanging by a thread because i sold out cheap
[03:27.68]you know i'd like to run away, but i'm in too deep...
