there you are of a sudden - shuffling along with the crowd
i was hoping you could tell me what i said last night -hope i didn't say it too loud
did some things that i shouldn't and there's always someone looking at me
tried to let her in but i couldn't go and let her see the monster in me
and say hello to jayne for me and tell her if you do
that wishing for a god up there, well, that won't make it true
it shouldn't be this hard but there's these things i can't undo
i guess then, i'd just rather stay here drinking in the afternoon
here we are of a sudden - don't know how we got through the door
i've been bruising on the shoulder from a slip i made last night or the night before
but let's turn this blood into wine, baby, and make an early start on the day
lay your sins next to mine and maybe something down here will help us wash them all away
and say hello to jayne for me and tell her if you do
that wishing for a god up there, well, that won't make it true
it shouldn't be this hard but there's these things i can't undo
i guess then, i'd just rather stay here drinking in the afternoon
drinking in the afternoon
