Down on my luck, out on the dole
Up on the ceiling lives a big hole
Water cascades in the bare-bulb light
In the bathroom mirror I'm smiling
Time to look through to see what can be seen
The dirt and the dust and the mania machine
The hubcaps the holsters the headhunter gloves
And the cigarette his boot is crushing
Life is cruel, life is strange
One day the ocean, the next a mountain range
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm sure I'm not getting there alone
Woke up late slept through my job
Bought a scratch-off ticket and some corn on the cob
Buttered her up to take a big bite
Waiting for a red-eye to Tunisia
Hitchhiker holding down the passenger side
"Drop me off here thanks for the ride"
Kindness rings the world just like a bell
So know your power and use it well
SO KNOW YOUR POWER AND RING THE BELL
Life is strange, life is mean
One day you're crawling on your knees
The next you're riding in a limousine
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm sure I'm not getting there alone
