Did you ever wake up in the morning
with a freight-train running trough your head
an empty whiskey bottle by your pillow
and a burnend out unfinished cigarette
the night went up in smoke
life is but a joke man
but I see nobody laughing

did you ever live a day,
like the next day would never come
blood's dripping on the floor, but who cares
who needs you anyway
you're a stranger to yourself
and this ain't no joke, man
but I can't stop laughing

(chorus)
greedy, angry people make me
run around in circles backwards
down the lonely road that keeps me
run around in circles

how I want to try again
excuse me can you lead me
I just want to try again
excuse me can you lead the way
