The Saddest Thing I Know
Birds of Tokyo
How long you been asleep at the wheel?
Out of control, gathering up speed
Your heart is on the dashboard, head's in the street
I hope that you wake up in time to scream
Race me for tail or for hits
Your attitude is mud and your promise is dead
You counteract the fuel with the drink and the drugs
It's not what you did, it's what you will do
So take another turn on the merry-go-round
Your numbers are come up now your king of the town
So buckle up and chase yourself a new thrill
You're never gonna feel like before
You keep coming back for more
To find me almost knocking on your door
Say man you are the saddest thing I know
You got a cold sweat begging for the score
You lose it all as you stumble to the floor
Say man you are the saddest thing I know
You keep coming up for air
To find your own foot pushing on your head
Say man you are the saddest thing I know
I see the dried up lotus(?) in your hair
You got the old kaleidoscopic stare
Say man you are the saddest thing I know
When you gonna finally admit
It's the end of the line you've been hammered and hit
Your body is a wreck and your mind is amiss
I know what you want I think this is it
