Starin' out the window 

from an unmade bed

I got no reason to live

No reason to be dead

Those unnamed blues are with me today

I got no reason to leave 

No reason to stay





Sun in the night, dark in the day

In a January thaw, frosted in May





Searching for salvation 

in a stranger's eyes

The sooner I sink, 

the sooner I'll rise





So honey, don't you try to analyze it 

Just tell me why's it that 

Babies are born happy

though sometimes they've got to cry 

Babies got that sweet contentment

So why is it that you and I

Get no relief?

Got no belief?

Steal like a thief through our days

feeling lost and alone

when baby we were born happy

Where'd we lose that 

sweet contentment?





Flyin' to an island 

on a silver plane

But we just 

can't escape 

the growin' pains

'Cause the ghost 

and the smoke 

of a nightmare past

will be chasing us 

down twice as fast

So honey don't it 

hurt to realize it? 

we can't disguise it
