I can hear these voices calling
up and down the alleyway
oh tell me mister, can you hear them too?
I don't know what's up or down
ever since my baby went away
hey mister can I bum a smoke from you?
I remember to pay my bills
I remember to take my pills
I remember to cry when I hear her name
I can put on the fitted sheets
Rub the skillet down with bacon grease
I can stare at the wall till I go insane
Broken heart and a broken mind
Headspace aint worth a dime
Feelin feels like a porcupine
and it's poking round my brain
I remember to pay my bills
I remember to take my pills
I remember to cry when I hear her name
I can put on the fitted sheets
Rub the skillet down with bacon grease
I can stare at the wall till I go insane
Days are long and the headwinds strong
but I move around this flesh and bone
Lights are on, but no one's home
I'm a million miles away
I'm a compass only points to south
I'm a preacher with a dirty mouth
silence only makes you want to shout
when you got a lot to say
I remember to pay my bills
I remember to take my pills
I remember to cry when I hear her name
I can put on the fitted sheets
Rub the skillet down with bacon grease
I can stare at the wall till I go insane
