I've been looking for you stranger
I've been looking for you friend
I've been wandering the streets
In my dreams again
I've been breathing in the same air
I'll been breathing out, and still
If the loneliness don't kill me
Then the good times surely will
I've been keeping good company
Tanqueray, El Jimador
Singing all the saddest love songs
That ever came before
I could drink myself to Sunday
It's my only cheapest thrill
if the loneliness don't kill me
Then the good times surely will
I wanna stumble from the 3 speed
Shout obscenities down Bloor
I wanna stay the morning after
Wake up on your hardwood floor
If forever seems too far away
I guess it's all we'll know
Just counting down the days
Until the winds of change they blow

Leave Me As You Found Me

Morning will break me
The birdsong too sweet
I cannot emerge
Cannot rise to my feet
Dreams captivate me
But I wake to the cry
Of a lonesome foghorn outside
Leave me as you found me
Don't terrorize this heart
Leave me as you found me
Just leave me and let me be
I cannot imagine a life without you
But you're hardly around anymore
I bury my head in my pillow and weep
The doomsday beat of my heart
Don't leave your rubbish, your baggage behind
Don't leave these thoughts in the back of my mind
Dust off my heart, won't you please just be kind
And let me let you go

Division 5

I went down division five local RCMP to file a missing persons report.
Well, they looked me up and down then their eyes went to the ground, they burst out laughing and they showed me the door.
I showed the officer my tears said, "I ain't seen her in years."
and he said, "Son, do you know where she's at?"
I said, "I'm pretty sure I do, at least the province and the town
but she swears that she ain't never coming back."
And he said, "Brother that's the deal sometimes it's over and done for real
There ain't a goddamn thing the Mounties can do
We get folks speeding in their cars getting way too drunk in bars
But I got just the thing for a sad sack like you."
He pulled out a prewar Double O, wired up in stainless steel
Aimed it at my heart and took a breath
"You sure you're ready for the truth because that's the ammo that I use."
I said, "I am," and raise my hands and dropped my head
And he sang, "Brother, that's the deal, sometimes it's over and done for real
There ain't a goddamn thing the Mounties can do
We get folks speeding in their cars, getting way too drunk in bars
But I got just the thing for a sad sack like you.”
I went down division five local RCMP to file a missing persons report.
Well, they looked me up and down then their eyes went to the ground
They burst out laughing and they showed me the door
Said, “We ain't never seen nobody so lost before.”
