Had a Long Today

Duke Robillard and the Pleasure Kings
Sat amongst the clutter on the tabletop
The sky is painted hazy grey and lazy blue
Ain’t nothing better than this to do
My friend in the next room, color his thumb green
Keeping it alive (if you know what I mean)
Oh and my girl, she working hard yes she be
Everybody doing their best just to make ends meet
Although the world will do it’s best
To make things harder
We won’t break
As long as we’re alive
To greet tomorrow*
The telephone is ringing someone’s at the door
Ain’t expecting company whoever it is it ain’t for me
Business as usual with the two at the south end
Mackey and Casey are at it again
6:48 this time of year is dark
Turn on the lights and shut the blinds
Somehow tonight feels like I could use a drink
Hope I don’t end up out of control unable to think
Although the world will do it’s best
To make things harder
We won’t break
As long as we’re alive
To greet tomorrow*
Impossible it seems to keep your ground
When everyone wants to see you bleed
And not a friend can be found
Just remember these words I say to you
Although the world will do it’s best
To make things harder
We won’t break
As long as we’re alive
To greet tomorrow*
