After all of these times that you’ve barely survived With a needle in your arm and a thorn in your side For someone with nothing at least it’s still something, I guess A solitary vein in a world that’s full of pain
A reason to wake up or at least to rise And stumble down the alley looking for another high As you ask yourself ‘How low can a punk get?’ You’re still streaming through your veins what you never regret
And I don’t know if things can get much better But I know that things can’t get much worse
Asleep in the city or merely passed out You wonder what it is everybody else is dreaming about You waste your days away on a feeling that won’t last Because the good times are gone and they ain’t never coming back
