(Play  CContinuously)
The sun came up with no conclusion
It's flowers sleeping in their beds
The cities cometary's humming
I have my drugs, I have my woman
They keep away my loneliness
My parents have they have their religion
But sleep in separate houses
[Chorus]
I rEmead the body count out of the Ampaper
And nFow it's Gwritten all over my Cface
NEmo one ever plans to sleep out in thAme gutter
SomeFtimes that's just the Gmost comfortable Cplace

My mind races with all my longings

Well I could have been a famous singer
If I had someone else's voice
But failure's always sounded better        
It's flowers sleeping in their beds

(Play Continuously)

The sun came up with no conclusion

It's flowers sleeping in their beds

The cities cometary's humming

I have my drugs, I have my woman

They keep away my loneliness

My parents have they have their religion

But sleep in separate houses

[Chorus]

Em Am

I read the body count out of the paper

F G C

And now it's written all over my face

Em Am

No one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter

F G C

Sometimes that's just the most comfortable place

[Verse 2]

Everyday up on the clock

My mind races with all my longings

What history gave modern man

The telephone to talk to strangers

[Chorus]

Em Am

So when you're asked to fight a war that's over nothing

F G C

It's best to join the side that's gonna win

Em Am

And no one's sure how all of this got started

F G C

But we're gonna make them goddam certain how its gonna end

Oh ya we will, oh ya we will!
