See I've been here for 30 some years
Lookin' at myself in that same dirty mirror
So it ain't like I don't comprehend
Open that bottle, swallow that friend
No crime to take a little too much
Got time to drink away a few months
Got a little cocaine habit
But he says he only does it if somebody else has it
Go do that shit, do that shit lady
She went vegetarian for the baby
3rd trimester, see the kid kick
She showed me outside when she gave me a cigarette
Shit, there's no way to measure it
Not every pony grows up to be a pegasus
You gotta let people be hypocrites
Count your blessings and mind your businesses
Stuck with yourself like the rest of us
Dirt gets done and then we back to dust
Runnin' in place, sun in my face
Let me fly 'way, Heaven won't wait
Stuck with yourself like the rest of us
Dirt gets done and then we back to dust
Runnin' in place, sun in my face
Let me fly 'way, Heaven won't wait
Heaven won't wait, let me fly 'way
Getting nowhere every day
Heaven won't wait, let me fly 'way
Getting nowhere every day
Just tryin'a keep my mind on work
It's like that's the only way to love this life on Earth
It's like everyone takes number one in the race
Cause we all keep runnin' in place
Here kitty, kitty, can't train that fox
Must be drinkin' that name brand scotch
All of us cut from the same damn cloth
Some of us never cut the price tags off
She ended up on the pole
With her heels pointin' at a Jesus she used to know
Stripped her down to her naked body
We made her drown in a lake full of patriarchy
In between the pride and the misery
With the infinite supply of sympathy
Are these invisible walls that hold me
Like this goldfish bowl is the whole sea, see?
Stuck with yourself like the rest of us
Dirt gets done and then we back to dust
Runnin' in place, sun in my face
Let me fly 'way, Heaven won't wait
Stuck with yourself like the rest of us
Dirt gets done and then we back to dust
Runnin' in place, sun in my face
Let me fly 'way, heaven won't wait
Heaven won't wait, let me fly 'way
Getting nowhere every day
Heaven won't wait, let me fly 'way
Getting nowhere every day
Lookin' at myself in that same dirty mirror
So it ain't like I don't comprehend
Open that bottle, swallow that friend
