I woke up on early evening and I knew I was alone

Did the sun come up or did it rain again, I’ll never know

I felt the acid in my stomach rise above my throat as I dialled



There was a message from my mother

From about 7a.m. said I’ve forgotten what you sound like 

And I’m wonderin’ how you’ve been

I cried myself to asleep back on the floor

Unconscious in denial



Life is just a little part of what the world will do

To get it’s point across it beats you ‘til you’re black & blue

And decides just when you’re in or when you’re out

‘Cause when you’re through you’re through



There’s a cafe around the corner from a home I call a house

I sit and play sudoku ‘til I figure some shit out

I drink the day’s first coffee and I smoke the last cigarette of my life



And I’m wondering out of all the crazy places that I’ve been

Would it ever be as good as sittin’ here just with a friend?

Where it's always understood it might be time, to switch the coffee to the wine



Life is just a little part of what the world will do

To get it’s point across it beats you ‘til you’re black & blue

And decides just when you’re in or when you’re out

‘Cause when you’re through you’re through



Yeah, Yeah.

Whoaaaah, Ohhhh. 

Whoaaaaahhhhhh



Ohhhh, Ohhh, Ohhh.

Oh.



Janis sings to me just like she’s sitting by my side

And I wonder just how many times she sat like me and cried

I’ve made it past the age of twenty-seven so there’s no use in dyin’



And my friends have asked the question:

“Baby, will you be okay?”

I wanna tell them yes ‘cause I know that’s what I should say

But I’ve got no crystal ball and I can’t bring myself to lie and why should I?



Hey, yeahhhh - I think that…..

Life is just a little part of what this world will do

It’s bring us to the brink and beats the shit right outta you

And decides just when you’re in or when you’re out

‘Cause when you’re through you’re through



Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Life is just a little part of what the world will do

It’s brings us to the brink and beats the sh1t right outta you

And decides just when you’re in or when you’re out

When you’re through you’re through



Ayyye, Oh.

I guess I’m through

Mmmmm

When you’re through, you’re through.
