I see myself on T.V. I'm a faker a paper clown. It's clear to all my friends that I habitually lie; I just bring them down. I claim proneness to exaggeration. But the truth lies in my frustration. The children of the night they all pass me by. Have to drench myself in brandy. In sleep I'll hide. But however much I booze. There ain't no way out. There ain't no way out. I don't care what you say boy. There ain't no way out. I lose so many nights of sleep worrying about my responsibilities. Are the problems that screw me up really down to him or me. My ego will just confuse me. Some day it's going to up and use me. Dish me out another tailor-made compliment. Tell me about some destiny I can't prevent. And however much I squirm. There ain't no way out. There ain't no way out. I don't care what you say boy. There ain't no way out. Won't somebody tell me how to get out of this place?!. Then the night comes down like a cell door closing. Suddenly I realize that I'm right now I'm on the scene. While sitting here all alone with a bottle and my head a-floating. Far away from the phone and the conscience going on at me. And on at me and I don't care what you say. There ain't no way out. There ain't no way out. Now the walls are all clawed and scratched. Like by some soul insane. In the morning I humbly detach myself. I take no blame. I just can't face my failure. I'm nothing but a well fucked sailor. You at home can easily decide what's right. By glancing very briefly at the songs I write. But it don't help me that you know. This ain't no way out. Won't somebody tell me?. I don't care what you say boy. There ain't no way out. There ain't no way out. There ain't no way out. There ain't no way out. Give me the key lock it away. There ain't. There ain't. There ain't no way out. There ain't no way out. There ain't no way out.
