Barfly Lyrics by Strung Out

Volume One

1998

[Verse 1]
Just one more fix, just a little bit of that
Heaven I found, crawling in the sun
Sitting, waiting, calling me
To indulge in this game that'll set me free

[Verse 2]
Another wasted night, and here I am again
Promises remain just promises, and I don't know why
A moment of weakness is a moment of clarity
I know what I want
Why fight the temptation when it's all you've got?
When it's all I've ever known
So I give in to the ways of the past and start to suck
Once again, I drown myself, delivering from all I've gained
Lies to myself always seem to justify the means
I've got no time to listen to your good advice
I'm doing just fine
Down on my own, down here

[Verse 3]
I know one day this dance will bring me to my knees
It's only a matter of time before I fall again, but that's alright
It's the little things in life that always mean the most to me anyway
So what if I go with a little piece of heaven to take the edge away

[Verse 4]
Just like the living dead that walk around this place
It's not so bad here in the closet, found the peace of mind I never had
Call it escape from reality, I call it looking at the world
With both eyes open wide to the truth, yeah
I wanna be found smiling when I die here
I wanna burn my eyes out on the sun
In heaven's basement, you're the one that killed me first
As another endless night goes down

[Outro]
One more fix, just a little bit
Of heaven I found, crawling in my sun
Sitting, waiting, calling me
To indulge in this game that's gonna set me free
A moment of weakness is all I got
And it's all I've ever known
Another wasted night, and here I am
