Lyrics

Can Ya

Breaking my back in the morning
Everything here is a warning
Still making sense of the falling
All I really wanna know is
Can ya (can ya, can ya, can ya)

Moving on up got a feeling
Kicking up dust for a reason
Keep hitting my head on the ceiling
And could you tell me what this is all for
Can ya (can ya, can ya, can ya)
Can ya (can ya, can ya, can ya)

I'm good for nothing
You should know that by now
Oh I've got more than
Just my head in the clouds
Always running
Yeah, I've done it
But I don't know how
Well, it's something
Good for nothing

I'm coming in late to the open
Can't recover from all this
Feeling like I can't keep score and
All I really wanna know is
Can ya (can ya, can ya, can ya)

Can't wake up when I'm breathing
No gas in my lungs when I need it
No body, no soul, no spirit
Dead man walking, when I laugh you can hear it
Can ya (can ya, can ya, can ya)
Can ya (can ya, can ya, can ya)

I'm good for nothing
You should know that by now
Oh I've got more than
Just my head in the clouds
Always running
Yeah, I've done it
But I don't know how
Well, it's something
Good for nothing

I'm good for nothing
You should know that by now
Oh I've got more than
Just my head in the clouds
Always running
Yeah, I've done it
But I don't know how
Well, it's something
Good for nothing
