I make myself a promise Then break it every night I'm feeling loose and life don't make no sense I use my brains to build a fence 'Round the claim I stake I take the drugs but the drugs won't take I took a pledge to grow up Then drank enough to make me throw up On all my dearly disappointed friends I'm just too lazy to make amends With you anyway That's why the pattern still remains There's half a million things that I'm supposed to be A shelter in the nighttime A punk running free And if it gets too deep I reach for my guitar And if I try hard I find something I can really drop into And everything that was is just a thing that I can sing 'Cause everything is something next to nothing As crazy as it seems, you give it up and you are free Another candle to blow out New set of dark thoughts to shut out And everybody's got their remedies But nothing works like chemistry So raise a toast No more sipping from the fire hose There's half a million things that I'm supposed to be A shelter in the nighttime A freak on the scene And if it gets too deep I reach for my guitar And if I try hard I find something I can really drop into And everything that was is just a thing that I can sing Everything is something next to nothing As crazy as it seems, you give it up and you are free Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh La la la Ah ah ah There's half a million things that you're supposed to be A virgin in the moonlight A freak on the scene And if it gets too deep You reach for your guitar And if you try hard There's half a million things that I'm supposed to be A shelter in the nighttime A punk on the streets And if it gets too deep I reach for my guitar And if I try hard
