Lyrics
taps his feet again, another cigarette I said eh, oh doesn't move around, inertia ties him down he says I remember when they all were kids of mine they all remind me of the things I said I'd never do how'd I get to be 44? how is it you remember my face life's too short for reading minds, forgiving crimes whatever happened to those old friends of yours I think I'd rather just sit here and rot I don't know why I can't look you in the eyes my friend I guess I'm stuck in second gear life's too short for reading minds, forgiving crimes I sit around, disembodied get out, this is not me another bitter night - in a forgotten life I know this room better than I like better than my wife taps his feet again, another cigarette doesn't move around, inertia ties him down
