Like a Record Player

I'm like a record player I keep going 'round With the needle in my arm Making someone else's sound And lately I've been dreaming Of blue and empty skies But nothing like that Ever crosses red and weary eyes I've been traveling with bottles I'm working close with cans I'm sitting up for hours with my best friends in a van And they say that this ain't living But I don't know what they mean 'Cause I don't feel dead And baby you look alive to me It's the only game that I know how to play The time, the time to say goodbye Has passed us long ago And I would say I've overstayed My welcome but you know I don't think I'm ever going home I don't need a doctor 'Cause anyone can see That I've had all of these shots But lord I'm still as sick as I can be I need to rest my eyes so baby come with me Lay down here beside me keep me warm while I sleep 'Cause there's trouble on the way Huh! You best believe There always is don't worry Sit and have a drink with me When we go all we've got is these days that we've made And I don't want to waste them being wistful or afraid Without all of you I'd be even lower down You know what I want to say but I can't get it out The time, the time to say goodbye Has passed us long ago And I would say we've overstayed Our welcome but you know I don't think we're ever going home
