AHow the hell is everything Since I've been awaBmy
DIs the weather any better? Did the landlord fiAx the drain?
ADid Louie sell his paintings? Did Kevin quit hBmis job?
DWill you tell him that I love them and I miss Ay'all a lot
AThought about deserting Jumping on a plane the Bmother day
DIt was just a fleeting feeling man I'm usually Aokay
AWhen I'm holding conversations in a languBmage I don't speak
DAnd coughing on the radio and screaming Ain my sleep
AI'm just tired of feeling tired Tired of gBmetting drunk
DTook a picture for the paper and they mAade me stand in front
ABut I shouldn't be complaining there's been peoplBme at the show
DI even saw the Eiffel tower in the souvenir snow globeA  
AThere's just a couple more and then a day off in AmsteBmrdam
DI'm gonna check into a hotel get fixed up Aif I can
BmYou know I promisEed I'd be careful AWith the company DI keep
BmAnd I hold myself Etogether Auntil I'm back oDn Sugar Street, SugaEr Street
AYou start at the beginning and go on to tBmhe end
DSometimes a perfect stranger might end uAp your only friend
AFirst you nod politely cause you're nBmot that interested
DAsk some abstract question like a borAed psychiatrist
ABut then you get to talking about the plastBmic in the sea
DThe nightmare of their childhood and realiAty tv
AIt starts to sound familiar like you're coming back tBmo life
DMake some observations start offering Aadvice
AAlways look in both directions when you go to cross tBmhe street
DAnd if you jump off any buildings make sure you land Aon your feet
OBmh promise you'll be carefEul With the Asympathies you seDek
BmCause I know you feel beEtter Once Ayou're back on SugDar Street, Sugar EStreet
BmAnd Oh, I promise I'll be cEareful When AI put myself to sDleep
BmAnd I hope that I feel Ebetter Once I'Am back on Sugar StreDet, ah Sugar StreEet

Thought about deserting Jumping on a plane the other day

It was just a fleeting feeling man I'm usually okay

A Bm

When I'm holding conversations in a language I don't speak

D A

And coughing on the radio and screaming in my sleep

A Bm

I'm just tired of feeling tired Tired of getting drunk

Took a picture for the paper and they made me stand in front

But I shouldn't be complaining there's been people at the show

There's just a couple more and then a day off in Amsterdam

Ask some abstract question like a bored psychiatrist

The nightmare of their childhood and reality tv

It starts to sound familiar like you're coming back to life

Make some observations start offering advice

Always look in both directions when you go to cross the street

And if you jump off any buildings make sure you land on your feet
