I am stumblin' out of bed
With an aching head
Hip hurray's and yesterdays
Seem so far away
I've been wasting my time
Trying hard to ease the troubles of mine
I've been wasting my time
All those lonely nights
Sun goes up and sun goes down
I can't feel the beat
and I can't hear the sound
Round and around all this killing time
But no, no I just can't stay forever drunk
Mirror mirror on the wall
Where did the good times go
Mirror mirror I don't know
What I'm living for
So many nights
Stumblin' home like a lost little child
So many days
Curtains keeping the light away
Sun goes up and sun goes down
I can't feel the beat
and I can't hear the sound
Round and around all this killing time
But no, no I just can't stay forever drunk
When I was seventeen
My heart was pure
and my heart was all clean
But at twenty-three
I knew nothing's what it seems,
life ain't a dream
Sun goes up and the sun goes down
I can't feel the beat
and I can't hear the sound
Round and around all this killing time
But I, no I just can't stay forever
stay forever
stay forever
forever drunk
