In the alley

That nobody's feedin'

I've been making deals

With the devil

Ever since i was born

I've been runin scared

From a world

That i just don't

Believe in

And i know

There must be something

That i'm looking for



Chorus:

I could be all right

If you could be my friend

We'll get out of this town

And find ourselves

A country house and

I could paint the fence

And you could

Scrub the floor

Doesn't make much sense

But we could live

In our own private world

Our own private world



It's another sad

Saturday night

Here at the

Social club meeting

There's captain ron

And his cronies

Hanging out by the door

Well if jesus christ

Came to this place

Do you think

He'd believe it

I'd say hey man

Don't you think

We're needing

Something more



(chorus)



We're needing

Something with meaning

Something to wash

These pills down slow

Something with feeling

To take us away

Some kind of laughter

Some kind of happily

Ever after these long days

Long days ok
