Sometime back in the seventies I was a one trick pony forced into early retirement Don't know where I was headed anyway I called it quits before the sky fell Taking one by one I found comfort in the clouds It was better than the alternative To what I'm living for If you could see me now, would you say I've carried it well If you could see me now, sometimes I fear I've let you down But I can't tell, I don't care to think about it again I'm plagued by affinity for the affections of a green eyed social butterfly who never seems to reciprocate Falling asleep at the steering wheel, there's gotta be a better way to get where I'm going to without attracting much attention To what I'm living for If you could see me now, would you say I've carried it well If you could see me now, sometimes I fear I've let you down But I can't tell, I don't care Waiting 'til the drugs take over Waiting 'til the drugs take over Waiting 'til the drugs take over and rescue me If you could see me now, would you say I've carried it well If you could see me now But I can't tell, I don't care to think about it again
