Black Coffee And Stale Cigarettes
you know what the chances are for me
cause you know i'd die without my "artery"
you go to work then you come back home
remember when you would drop your keys then scream and moan?
these days are changing so fast yet i feel just the same
oh what i wouldn't give to travel back to yesterday
we came, we saw, what we thought was reality
but you know you'd lose yourself in the illusion without me
you know what i'm giving up is hard for me
cause for better or worse, it's part of me
you know that i'm living in the twilight zone
but you know what? i feel right at home
delayed again oh when will you ever change
you always said if we make it through tomorrow, it would be a better day
and everyone was telling me how you were wrong for me
but f*ck them all, cause baby, in your arms, i long to be
