Half A Million

I make myself a promise
Then break it every night
Im feeling loose and life dont make no sense
I use my brains to build a fence
Round the claim I stake
I take the drugs but the drugs wont take
I took a pledge to grow up
Then drank enough to make me throw up
On all my dearly disappointed friends
Im just too lazy to make amends
With you anyway
Thats why the pattern still remains
Theres half a million things that Im supposed to be
A shelter in the nighttime
A punk running free
And if it gets too deep
I reach for my guitar
And if I try hard
I find something I can really drop into
And everything that was is just a thing that I can sing
Everything is something next to nothing
As crazy as it seems, you give it up and you are free
Another candle to blow out
New set of dark thoughts to shut out
And everybodys got their remedies
But nothing works like chemistry
So raise a toast
No more sipping from the fire hose
Theres half a million things that Im supposed to be
A shelter in the nighttime
A punk running free
And if it gets too deep
I reach for my guitar
And if I try hard
I find something I can really drop into
And everything that was is just a thing that I can sing
Everything is something next to nothing
As crazy as it seems, you give it up and you are free

Theres half a million things that youre supposed to be
A virgin in the moonlight
A freak on the scene
And if it gets too deep
You reach for your guitar
And if you try hard
Theres half a million things that Im supposed to be
A shelter in the nighttime
A punk running free
And if it gets too deep
I reach for my guitar
And if I try hard
Theres half a million things that Im supposed to be
A shelter in the nighttime
A punk running free
And if it gets too deep
I reach for my guitar
And if I try hard
