God knows I've longed to feel something but now's not the time I'm caught up in the heartless disorder of a Friday night Focused on staying distracted until I lose sight Of the tiresome and clinical patterns of my life I will cherish this love for the rest of my night, rest of my night One day I'll find myself facing the firing line Serves me right, for the record I've written my crimes I will cherish this love for the rest of my night, the rest of my night Lord, have mercy on my soul I've had a good run but I can't run anymore, just put me down Lord, have mercy on my soul I've had a good run but I can't run anymore, just put me down Can't sidestep the long arm for too long with this paper trail I've let them devour my heart for some material But I'm a drunkard, a coward, a crook, I ought to change my ways Face the music, carry the can, etcetera, etcetera What's next? What's next? What's next? What's next? There's got to be something more than this What's next? What's next? What's next? What's next? What's next? What's next? There's got to be something more than this What's next? What's next? Trust me, I'm still with you somewhere Trust me, I'm still with you somewhere Trust me, I'm still with you somewhere Trust me, I'm still with you somewhere I just wish you were here Someday I'm bound to feel guilty but now's not the time I'm sure I'll get what I'm due, everything will be fine Hell bent on finding the next fix in the fog You're in a cab on the way to your house, change the locks I will cherish this love for the rest of the night, rest of the night Lord, have mercy on my soul I've had a good run but I can't run anymore, just put me down Lord, have mercy on my soul I've had a good run but I can't run anymore, just put me down Can't sidestep the long arm for too long with this paper trail I let them devour my heart for some material But I'm a drunkard, a coward, a crook, I ought to change my ways Face the music, carry the can, etcetera, etcetera Please forgive me
