Munching on a ham and cheese sando in the morning on Friday
|
Cruising down the Pacific Highway
|
Thinking 'bout the day ahead
|
|
I paid the rent cheque, got my registration and phone bill
|
If those two don't overthrow me the dogs will
|
But heck at least I know the taste of bread
|
|
Why do I seem to spend my whole damn life chasing paper?
|
I'm like an actor turned singer turned waiter
|
I'll wait around until I meet with my maker
|
Then I'll sign up for AA or something
|
|
I just wish there was some other way to get myself somewhere
|
This little strip of earth and all that I've done there
|
I'm like a bull-ant on the leg of a sunchair
|
Under a magnifying glass
|
|
I wish somebody would build a bridge
|
So I could get over myself
|
On my own I'm wasting my time
|
|
I take a phonecall on the mobile while I'm checking the meter
|
One sec I need to turn up that little speaker
|
It's getting noisy in this little town
|
|
We're like America we love to make a ho-har out of jackshit
|
I never ever really seemed to fit
|
But now I'm stuck so deep in all of this
|
|
Come to think of it I might as well be travelling backwards
|
It's been an hour and I'm only in Chatswood
|
I hate the way that I'm becoming a product
|
Go pick me up for $24.95
|
|
I'm on sale and it's retail in the world of deception
|
You can treat a man if he can't get erections
|
Is there a pill for my lack of direction?
|
Thanks mate, I'll have a pack of those
|
|
I wish somebody would build a bridge
|
So I could get over myself
|
On my own I'm wasting my time
|
I wish somebody would build a bridge
|
So I could get over myself
|
On my own I'm losing my mind
|
|
It's all good I got a broom and a cheap persian rug now
|
I can sweep the whole thing outta my sight now
|
Outta sight, outta mind
|
|
I'll keep on going until I'm pushing 30 or 40
|
And as long as I don't do something naughty
|
I love my wife, what a life
|
|
She comes home to find me spread on the floor from blood poisoning
|
I popped a whole lot of pills and I'm shaking
|
And there's a needle sticking out of my arm, I ain't faking I'm zoning in and zoning out
|
|
You wanna help me, don't call me an ambulance honey
|
Just get a silver service cab this is funny
|
Just one passenger please, going up my own ass
|
You take credit card? Fuck this!
|
|
I wish somebody would build a bridge
|
So I could get over myself
|
On my own I'm wasting my time
|
I wish somebody would build a bridge
|
So I could get over myself
|
On my own I'm losing my mind
|
|
I wish somebody would build a bridge
|
So I could get over myself
|
On my own I'm wasting my time
|
I'm wasting my life
|
I wish somebody would build a bridge
|
So I could get over myself
|
On my own I'm losing my mind
|
