Capo 5
i'm worth five bucks or less
the future is down my neck
my restless soul takes stride
far across this great divide
But i wont heed its cry
won't follow its life line
its time to sink or swim
sail along or(our) anchor in
i'm funny like an aimless fool
im as lucky as a funeral
i've got cliche's to write
i get high as a kite
my dreams force me to wait
find meaning to this state
fly away into the night
grin me with the reason why
im sick with the tv on
it drones in the lonely dawn
i'm funny like an aimless fool
i'm not looking at a glass half full
i'm tired of the same old pace
i hate the same old day
how easily i fill this space
headed down from the same old place
I fill with the old street lights
i bark with the dogs at night
when the moon is full and bright
it smiles in the alleys eyes
pin me up with the stars tonight
i've been looking for a place to shine
one day it will be my time
i'm not waiting for the bells to chime
i'll break like a traffic jam
i'll sing like a slaughtered lamb
Upside down like an hour glass
i'll be waiting for the sand to pass
when the storm keeps rolling in
talk teeth on the howling wind
i'm like a penny in a fountain brown
from a woman puts them (all) unknown
i'm funny like an aimless fool
i'm as lucky as a funeral
the world seems so clear
as it disappears in the blink of a frozen eye
in the chorus of an hour gone by
one day my star will rise
a new path will open wide
like a mouth of a tiger
i will swallow all my pride
i'm funny like an aimless fool
i'm not looking at a glass half full
i'm tired of the same old pace
i hate the same old day
how easily i fill this space
