Joyless Now Lyrics by Cockroach

0

[VERSE 1]
Don't wanna talk about what's wrong
Lets just sit and light the bong
Let the evening burn away
I'm on the outside of you today

[VERSE 2]
There's gold in them there hills
There's a hundred thousand bottles of pills
Love to leave everyone
I'm on the outside of kingdom come

{CHORUS}
And we go on to John Brown's grave
I've got a heartache the size of a great lake
She's so far away
I'm on the outside either way

[VERSE 3]
Wanna brick myself into my room
See the lighting fixture's the moon
See that we're not sketched on the page
I'm on the outside and I'm going insane

[VERSE 4]
Drinking rumpo meds and cherry Coke
Put her in a tin roof home
Smoking back-to-back cigarettes
I'm on the outside and I'm soaking wet

[Chorus]
And we go on to John Brown's grave
I've got a heartache the size of a great lake
She's so far away
I'm on the outside either way

[VERSE 5]
I don't wanna count my chill
I just wanna have some thrills
Maybe it would soften my glare
I'm on the outside and no one cares

[VERSE 6]
Sleep late and drive all night
Into the diffused gray light
Fanning the day's torching heat
I'm on the outside and nothing beat

[CHORUS}
And we go on to John Brown's grave
I've got a heartache the size of a great lake
She's so far away
I'm on the outside either way
