Messed Up
Pass by me
Her footsteps whisper
Pour coffee
Black it talks
Stir the spoon
Heated walks
Sit down stare
here her cry
Just another man
A man am I?
Ground the finger on the table
Peel myself another label
Jerk
Dick
Just cause I kissed this random stranger
Now the hospital is full
And she's the doctor with my prescription
but I wanted try the new flu shot
And now I'm sick, and my insurance stocked
Comes on in
On red eye junction
Hard to see her
Hard to function
Want to talk
but only listen
Stare on down
My coffee vision
Swirling black
Says to stand up
Be army strong
Be army tough
But in the end that numbers sad
Loneliest...
I've played that band
And now I sit behind her back
Wondering how much longer before she acts
Please forgive me
Let's just pass this one up
And then she stirs
But then she walks...
Man
I really messed this up...
