It was a slow, soft bullet you hit me with yesterday
You’ve got a crazy way of showing what it was you couldn’t say

Now all of my words are walls
And standing in my way
And all of my letters are burning in the ashtray

The sound of your screaming brakes is going to start a panic
The creature comforts are cold when you’re a creature of habit

Now the radio’s gone quiet
The television’s static
The road to heaven’s long but the devil’s automatic

A hand held in sunlight ain’t the same
We drank like a boot left out in the rain
A brand new song – the same sad refrain

They say drunks and dreamers never change
We let it go to our heads and run in our brains
A brand new song – the same damn refrain

There’s water, water, water everywhere
And what the bone-dry sky’s got, she aint’ gonna share

Things are always looking up
From beneath the bottom stairs
The things we lose, well they’re the heaviest things to bear

A hand held in sunlight ain’t the same
We drank like a boot left out in the rain
A brand new song – the same sad refrain

They say drunks and dreamers never change
We let it go to our heads and run in our brains
A brand new song – the same damn refrain

Now the nights are cloudless
And the days are painted blue
I’m looking for a way to get by you

And I know there’s a reason
That you can’t come around
But this dry season gets me down
