So here alone in place I sit
All my friends ain't closely knit
Watch the passers by all day,
Wishing some would come my way

Hit the bottle after work
Just another hopeless jerk
Find it hard to "just say no"
"Bottoms up", now here I go!

I've had misfortune in my life
Good intentions don't make it right
Seems all I've done just ain't enough
I guess you've got to be made of stronger stuff

Can you feel the pressure rising?
Will you make it all go away?
Miles and miles of lost horizon
Left to take it day by day

I've got to get my thoughts in place
Mental baggage to erase
Failed attempts to seal my fate
Turned away at heaven's gate
Lost my heart and lost my mind
Best of friends I left behind
Change of heart and change of state
I'll change it all and I can't wait

No fame and fortune to see me through
Just petty stuff like me and you
All circumstantial, no fuckin luck
It's superficial, and I could give a fuck
