Lyric Before I Do
There s no more fame to address
did you impress
in all fairness yes
so just cancel my game, if it s all the same to you
I ve had clear thoughts
tied in black and blue knots
but you remember that I forgot
to track them down, to track you down
track me down
call me if you need my help
to watch you - help me! help you
I ve tried it all before
(I ve had good times)
and it s not alot of laughs
(my best one yet)
and there s a hole in my heart
you carried your vice twice
like a basket full of roses and the
pearly gate now closes with you inside.
How should I drink to this
my trains been stalled for ages and
this means me standing still with a
first class ticket
so stick me with it, I ll stick with it
I m usually in mourning
(I ve had good times)
in the afternoon and night
(my best one yet)
otherwise I m asleep
(I never had enough time)
At least I ve got a lot of room
and the alarm is set for noon
(to play you my love you set)
and it s going to go off
before I do
(I ve had good times)
SPEAKING DURING INSTRUMENTAL:
so he was in this, this hospital
checkin out the phone he misunderstood
and I was speakin firm, very talkatively at the time
and he was walking around with a dress on
totally dressed with, with his arm down
and he said, I dunno what I m doing here
I m a business man
he didn t come and tell me
they totally misunderstood me you know
this is a whole, whole mistake here
this is a whole fuckin mistake
but I can t explain it and they don t wanna listen to me
you know, you know this
no they didn t, they didn t listen to me, you can t help it
I couldn t explain it, but business is business
and then there s fuckin this other time
this fuckin town, they didn t wanna let me out
they didn t wanna let me telephone you directly
these bastards,
these bastards stuck me in here and I wanted to talk to my lawyer
now I m totally pissed, man
you re the first guy I ve met since I, since I got here
now what, what should I do?
look, maybe you can help me out here
maybe you can get me out of here
the hell with the girl
I don t care who you are
I run 10 kilometers a day
and they put me down for a nice, nice long stay
anyway now I m here for a while now
you know, I ll just have a good time
did you impress
