I don't exactly remember when
because my memory is fuzzy
I fell asleep at ten one night
and woke up at 20
another dead head with a dream and a buck
who can't keep still for a moment
picking pennies off the corner for dumb luck
that no one else seems to notice

all my friends over the years
finally rose up and settled
all with a family and purpose
but I
understand I'm just worthless
I'll pay someone to pretend we're in love
I'm so desperate tonight
You should come
run the meter and pretend we're in love
just a kiss,
just to be touched

I felt a breath brush my hand in a daze
someone who surely don't know me
high on speed with the blues now for days
rousseau and still I feel lonely
made a map out of places to go
where there'd be someone to show me
the different ways to be happy

rambling on the bus
about arlington
and lake michigan
lincoln park
like chicago's my only friend
I'm running into the end

every girl over the year that I see
is doing better than me
the more and more that I peak
I'm coming down inside a store
selling me books and antiques
while every ex seems to be
happily married
