Standard (EADGBE)
Used to Feel like a Smoker, Shivering in the Cold
Waiting Outside the Bar, Till the openers over.
Now you feel like a drinker, Twenty Days off the Sauce
Down at the liqour store, Tryin to call your sponsor
Used to feel like a Forest Fire burning
But now, now you feel like a child
Throwing tantrums for your turn.
Used to Sound like a prophet and everyone wanted to know
how you could tell the truth without loosing the soft glow
Now you feel like salesman, closing another deal.
Or some drunk fisherman, chasing after the white whale
used to feel like a forest fire burning
but now, now you feel like a child throwing tantrums for your turn
used to feel like a prodigal returning
but now, now you hate what you made and you want to watch it burn
want to watch it burn
