Lyrics
I took a tranquilizer, stayed up till three a.m.
drank coffee and analyzed the mood I was in.
Pulled cat hair from a black shirt
popped holiday balloons
read magazines and papers
then I watched some old cartoons.
It's a sorry state I'm in again but I'm feeling so much bettter
out of work, underpaid and I never got your letter
it's a sorry state that I'm in again
I can't remember last night.
Took a wrong direction, got a broken nose
tatooed a correction at the bottom
Oh those highs and lows.
It's a sory state I'm in again but I'm feeling so much better
out of work, underpaid and I never got your letterSorry state I'm in again
I can't remember last night.
