My mind is the sky
My heart is a switchblade
Somehow before I die
I want to get laid by a mermaid
The black haired man beat the needle
And the bottle
Lived an extra decade
After he let off the throttle
And I held his hand as he laid in his bed
Closed his eyes he never opened them again
Went away for gold, all I found was coal
I shouldn't have believed her
But she gave me such a fever
Said her eyes can turn to diamonds
But, no I never saw it
And I went downtown to find the clown
All I could find was a mirror
And a sinning grin and a poor reflection
Said, "hey man, are you you doing here?"
I can't bare the news
I got the stream restoration blues
It could have been the Gord Downie
Could have been the beer
I want you to surround me
I need you here
Pulling asbestos and teeth
With the odd smoke break in between
Pondering Ponderosas
And what could have been
Dropped out with no diploma
Begging for a coma
I am learning from every bridge I'm burning
And I went downtown to find the clown
But all could find was a mirror
And a sinning grin and a poor reflection
Said "hey man, what are you doing here?"
I can't bare the news
I got the stream restoration blues
