Lyrics
The dawn don't bring the day
That's just the time when I stow away
Chop me up just one more line
Is it so wrong to be feeling fine?
This ain't the same stuff as yesterday
You never know what you get anymore
So who's to say?
Well they talk behind your back
Can't help but see that you've fallen off track
Tried to cover up what you could not hide
All washed up with the coming of the tide
Everybody knows the party's over
When you're using by yourself
Or so they say
I could sure get used to tea for one
I hate myself but I'm sure having fun
Don't help me out
I see you on the street
There was a time when we used to meet
Like a stranger you turn to me
Ask where I've been, honey let me see
To the bank and through the alleyways
Back up the street where we're packed like sardines
Everyday
And every time we seem to try again
We fall back into the same ways again
Anyways
Sweet Cherie by the liquor store
Gives me a hand when I'm trying to score
Lifts her boot out of the depths of snow
Goes up the stairs, says she'll let me know
And I return like an alley cat
Don't you know you shouldn't feed them like that
Sweet Cherie
I know you see me coming up the road
Where once the rivers of your youth had flowed
Before my time
The waterfront is cold
I used to think I was old
The waterfront is cold
I used to think I was oh so old
Just because I've seen my share of scars
Just because I smoke a big cigar
But it don't matter
Watch the stars spill across the sea
There's so much more in this world to see
Than what I've known
The dawn don't bring the day
That's just the time when I stow away
Chop me up just one last line
Is it so wrong to be feeling fine?
This ain't the same stuff as yesterday
You never know what you get anymore
So who's to say?
