square room

Singer: cowboy junkies

sitting in a square room

my voice is freezing

and the beams that are bouncing off the moon

are hanging from my window like icicles

just a tired old alcoholic

waxing bucolic

shivering and homesick

staring at a wooden floor

staring at a wooden floor

last night i nearly killed myself

chasing rum with rum

there were crows flying all around my head

and i sure caught and ate me some

funny how i alienated

those who i was trying just so

so hard to impress

now half those fuckers hate me

and i'm just a fool to all the rest

why do i insist on drinking myself to the grave?

why do i dream about cozy coffin?

i had all these plans of great things to accomplish

but i end up purely pathetic more than often

sitting in a square room

my voice is freezing
