Well there's a Eband on every corner
but AI'm not in Eone
I hate A3 out of every 4 of them
But I Ehavent got Ba Egun
I was Eten hours asleep
but I Astayed in my Eroom
I forAgot to remember
what I Ewanted Bto Edo.
As the Eglare turns to twilight
my Athoughts turn to Efood
Yeah and Awhat the hell happened
to the Egirl in Bthe Enude
Ah she Egave me a pill
She said it Ahelped her in Ebed
When I Alay down beside her
couldnt Eeven raise Bmy Ehead
C#mWhat a fool am EI
Cause my Abmdream was so Abright
But I'm Edrowning Esus4in the Ecity
With no Bsaviour in Esight
Well this Enight I'll go walking
Like the Atruth its so Enear
I'll be Aback I imagine
to the Eboys and Bto tEhe beer
There's a Ehole in my belly
I try and Afill it with Efood
So I Aorder a pizza
and the Epizza-maker Bis Erude
C#mLady in the jEacket
Is looking Abmjust how I Afeel
So I Esigh in mEsus4y corneEr
and I asBk for the bEill.
There's a Eband on every corner
but AI'm not in Eone
I hate A3 out of every 4 of them
But I Ehavent got Ba Egun
There's a Eband on every corner
I only Aplay in my Eroom
where the Afilth is familiar
and the pEiano's Bin Etune.
C#mWhat a fool am EI
Cause my Abmdream was so Abright
But I'm Edrowning Esus4in the Ecity
With no Bsaviour in Esight

Cause my dream was so bright
