I wish someone would throw me a bone
I wish someone would show me how to get home
I had it too good from the start, then
Someone's gonna have to remind me again
I've got a pocket full of money
And I've gotta get home
It'll pay for a third of the cab ride along
And so I hailed a cab
And then I hear the tone
Of a train arriving on a platform that's close
I've been walking
I've been walking a lot
I've been walking through the snow
I lost feeling in my big left toe
I haven't been sleeping
Haven't slept much at all
And next time I slip I'm falling into a deep dark
Oh my god!
Where am I now?
Deeper through my teeth through my throat to my chest
I've got a pocket full of money
And I've gotta get home
It'll pay for a third of the cab ride along
And so I hailed a cab
And then I hear the tone
Of a train arriving on a platform that's close
So I run to the platform
But the train is leaving
As I catch my breath, I can't help believing
That I don't belong here
Cause the people they stare
And I start to freak out and I head for the stair
Now I'm waving my hands
In the middle of the road
And the cars won't stop
No, they won't even slow
And I am slipping on the sidewalk
Going for the high top
Freeze!
It's minus degrees
And it's creeping right through me from my ankles into my knees
Please!
I gotta go now
It's moving right through me from my belly into my brow
Wow!
This is not what you want, now
Soon enough baby, my body's gonna shut
Downtown
Uptown
Riding the train
It'll be 4am since I got off the plane
I wish everyone would remind me
Everything I've done is behind me
I had it too good from the start
Somethin's gonna have to remind me again
