Toss and turn all night / fidget through the day
Blacking out the blues / till everything turns gray
Closing up my chest / I'm hanging up a sign
This space is for rent / brother, can you spare a dime?
I can't catch my breath / my mind is racing
I just need a rest / from this fucking thing
Please leave me alone /I didn't ask for this
There's a fuse blown / the wires spark and hiss
I don't have time for regrets, I just have time to worry
I can't stay up all night crying over you, I've got some worrying to do
How long has it been / since we cleaned out the place?
These tiny little things / our endless numbered days
Can't think of who I was / before all this went down
Lift me up so high / then put me in the ground

Where's my wife / where's my kid
They told me to do something with my life / so I did
I built a house / termites came for it
But a man with a goal, now that you just can't fuck with
I spent 35 years playing your game / now the only one we're gonna play is mine
There's just one thing that I've got left to do / and then everything's gonna be fine
I'm gonna play tennis in all 50 states / then I'm gonna die in Florida
On 16th Street / there was this kid
I taught him how to play / I don't know if he remembers it
I bike around and I pick up change / I can't get old if I never act my age
I spent 35 years playing your game / now the only one we're gonna play is mine
There's just one thing that I've got left to do / and then everything's gonna be fine
I'm gonna play tennis in all 50 states / then I'm gonna die in Florida

In the Light

I'm too pissed off / and you're just crazy
Maybe that's why we can't get along
The dust has settled / but my vision is still hazy
And I don't remember my drink being this strong
All my problems are now your problem
And all of my faults are your fault, too
One of these days, we're gonna get to see what we look like in the light
Open the door / and let me inside
I must have missed a step, 'cause now I'm down on the floor
From down here, I can see the play we're in
And there's a gun on the table that I've seen before
All my problems are now your problem
And all of my faults are your fault, too
One of these days, we're gonna get to see what we look like in the light

I don't give a single shit / you can take it all back, I'm done with this
I will live on bread and stone / just bring me back the peace I've known
Grind my teeth down into bits / and pull my nails out by the tips
I will not yield like all the rest / can't take a breath until my last
I don't know if this is what you wanted
I just know that this is what you got
Watch the petals dot the water / drift away to the far shore
Summer's gone, no time for dreaming / no one lives here anymore
I don't know if this is what you wanted
I just know that this is what you got
