Barfly

Spent my nights in a sleeping bag smelling kerosene
 Thinking fog and sand
 Was gonna keep me clean
 Feeding all the bluejays at the wrong address
 Where they went instead
 I could only guess
 Tell the barfly
 Who runs this town
 You won't get high
 You'll just get down
 Tell the barfly
 It's on his dime
 You won't get high
 So do the time
 Took a breath full of iodine and I overdosed
 And the tide crept high
 Like a watery ghost
 And no one needs your kind
 Of a dope sick clown
 You can always find
 Sitting one seat down
 Tell the barfly
 Who rolls the dice
 Your numbers up
 So roll it twice
 Tell the barfly
 It's on his dime
 You won't get high
 So do the time
 Honey, I'm not the one who's of use to you now
 I get an hour's sleep at night
 And I can't see how
 You deserve all the mess that even guilt won't allow
 Tell the barfly
 Who runs this town
 You won't get high
 You'll just get down
 Tell the barfly
 It's on his dime
 You won't get high
 So do the time
