I'm gonna run what's the point in all this

I've seen it all now and I must admit

being a beggar on an oily old rag

is not a living for me



I'm starving hungry out of money and luck

I'd chew the ass off a low flying duck

protocol here is sodomy style greed

and it's a worry for me



I'm not a member of the modern day

there's someone at it in the bed that I made

they drained the carat out of all the gold hearts

and now they're coming for me



ain't nobody gonna see me cry

I'll be long gone before it's time to die

it's that, or join the material world soon

or they'll be comin' for me



and when I yawn it's because you spoiled my dream

I was in nirvana dreaming all the right things

you came along when all the money runs dry

and point the finger at me



you haven't heard a single word that I've said

I know you'd rather see this little guy dead

I sweep your litter and I hang up your coat

there's noting in it for me



sorry man I'm gonna have my way

I wanna lie here in the bed that I made

thank you porter I can take it from here

the early night is on me



'cause ain't nobody gonna see me down

I'm looking forward to when the time comes 'round

when being alive is being a human again

it's sentimental to me



I've seen it all now and I must admit

it's hard to row in a creek of shit

say goodbye now for the very last time

and take the paddle from me



it's kind of sad we gotta end this way

I'm starting over in a brand new day

being a beggar on an oily old rag 

is not a living for me



I'm not offended by the modern day

I burn a candle for the friends that I made

see you round, maybe in heaven some time

don't put your money on me



ain't nobody gonna see me cry

twenty five is not a time to die

mothership's got her boarding hatch down

and she's waiting on me
