Don't let me take too long here I've got a lot of things to do These days are pa**ing by me I'm staring blindly at the view I woke up one day older Just like ten thousand days before And all at once I'm hearing A quiet knocking on my door Lost chances, sideways glances I will let them be without me Creation, celebration I will let them pa** me by, and Nothing ventured, nothing gained, But all I see is loss and pain, so screw it Once I was star-eyed shining Now I'm buzzing like a neon sign That's missing half its letters And it's getting dimmer all the time Bells ringing, choirs singing I will let them be without me Moonshine and cherry wine, yeah I will let them pa** me by again Wake and sleep and drink and eat and work until I've thrown the day away Yesterday was once tomorrow, now it's just another fading day
