Has nobody asked you how you are? You look like you might not last the day I wouldn't have made it very far So we'd make a good team right away I've not made amends for yesterday My lip won't get me out of it Waking up dreading hearing tales Of all of my nightmares being true Has nobody asked you how you are? You look like you might not last the day I wouldn't have made it very far So we'd make a good team right away I've not made amends for yesterday My lip won't get me out of it Waking up dreading hearing tales Of all of my nightmares being true I take a breath and grab the phone Secretly hoping you're not home I'd leave a message, I was out Out of my mind on drink and drugs
