fine-tuning the bender

lost another morning

now it's going on two years

and this cough

it just won't go away

in the city of grey

i think i'm leaving today

cuz i was staying for some reason

but for what i can't say

cuz it's so cold outside

and i cannot take no one

(i'm alone all the time

taking the path of the chosen few

the chosen few. the chosen few)

cuz we've got more to do

this here city's worn all through

(you're waiting for someone

to take you away from the life you knew

the life you knew)

emptied all my bottles

burned my magazines

but so far i don't feel more sincere

come on and smile

drink your beer

could it take another year?

cuz it's so cold outside

and i cannot take no one

(i'm alone all the time

taking the path of the chosen few

the chosen few. the chosen few)

cuz we've got more to do

this here city's worn all through

(you're waiting for someone

to take you away from the life you knew

the life you knew)

don't let go of my fragile hands

i know somehow you'll understand
