Love she sees apart from me, possessed behind the eyes Apart from frightening, the moaning and biting, seems to be a nice guy And I know what she thinks when she looks at me, when she looks with such despair You're not the only one around here who needs a bit of fresh air 'Cause I'm a sad sack, post teen, could have been a love machine No dream, concrete, walking like a zombie Like a zombie And I'm a coal train, fast lane, caught up in a dirty rain No pain, no gain, working like a zombie Like a zombie Well this old place here, man it's falling apart She's on the road as she goes, but she won't get far I'm on a show to parole to the toad in a hole I've gotta grow some roots, gotta prop up the bar I've got bloodshot eyes and there's blood in my teeth I've got a ripped up jacket and a friend who's a thief Well I'm a coughing out my mouth, trying to pull it out But the fire inside keeps burning, burning out 'Cause I'm a sad sack, post teen, could have been a love machine No dream, concrete, walking like a zombie Like a zombie And I'm a coal train, fast lane, caught up in a dirty rain No pain, no gain, working like a zombie Like a zombie Oh you're running the situation Don't be afraid to be a friend 'Cause I won't hurt you girl, or leave you unsaid You make me live enough to love again 'Cause I'm a sad sack, post teen, could have been a love machine No dream, concrete, walking like a zombie Like a zombie And I'm a coal train, fast lane, caught up in a dirty rain No pain, no gain, working like a zombie Like a zombie 'Cause I'm a sad sack, post teen, could have been a love machine No dream, concrete, walking like a zombie Like a zombie And I'm a coal train, fast lane, caught up in a dirty rain No pain, no gain, working like a zombie Like a zombie
