Quit swimming around in turmoil
Don't overflow that fish bowl
Turn the lights out when you go
And step out through that door
And leave me feeling sore
Like a used Dallas whore
Begging you for more
Forgot what he said
Forgot what she said
Nothin' sticks anymore
I'm just a carpet on your floor
A bargain from the store
That you wish you never bought
Another lesson taught
Life's a game you play
There's nothing here to gain
It all ends in regret
Like they wish we never met
Like a bummed cigarette
On a sponge soaking wet
Dripping full of sweat
Another pill to swallow
Another christ to follow
I'd rather walk towards the light
Is that really such a crime
I'm running out of time
No more places left to hide
All my demons stuck inside
Although every other night
They come looking for a fight
Asking me to stand upright
But by then I'm out of sight
On a crawl towards the door
On a stretcher for the morgue
I'm just a coward on the floor
A coward on the floor
Although every other night
They come looking for a fight
Asking me to stand upright
But by then I'm out of sight
On a crawl towards the door
On a stretcher for the morgue
I'm just a coward on the floor
A coward on the floor
Quit swimming around in turmoil
Don't overflow that fish bowl
Turn the lights out when you go
And step out through that door
And leave me feeling sore
Like a used Dallas whore
Begging you for more
