Besedila: Tim Barry. Laurel St. Demo 2005. Sagacity Gone.

I went back to the corner store
To buy another round
Found a penny gone and picked it up
But it was faced head down
I represent all that?s wrong
And I resent the law
Cat tail below my rocking chair
I learned to spit before I could crawl

I think I need a hit of morphine
Just enough to ease my troubled mind
If I die a simple man of patience
Lord, I?ll be fine, yeah? yes, I?ll be fine

I went down to the river side
To sober up and rest my head
I got drunk there and stayed all day
Hooking bait without a catch
I never thought much on God before
And I?ll be gone before long
I asked him why he went and sent me here
To stink and reek upon all

I think another drink might kill me
But that?s god?s will, yeah, it?s my time
If I die a simple man of patience
Lord, I?ll be fine, yeah? yes, I?ll be fine

I think I need a hit of morphine
Just enough to ease my troubled mind
If I die a simple man of patience
Lord, I?ll be fine, yeah? yes, I?ll be fine
