Wasted and wounded, erased with the night One man's conviction is another man's lie I said you could find me where the nighthawks fly And I'll be there a while, yes, I'll be there a while Dustpaper coupons, there's a guy by the door He said: "What makes me quit makes you go back for more This place isn't real, man, this girl is a whore Watch me fall to the floor but I'll go back for more" Sometimes I wander So I finally found you and I lost you to love No, it sure wasn't this I was thinkin' of Put your silhouette on me and your sweetness above And I can't get enough, no, I can't get enough Wasted and wounded, this ain't no way to die One man's cold turkey is another man's high I said you could find me where the nighthawks fly And I'll be there a while, yes, I'll be there a while Sometimes I wander Down on the floor, got a closer look at hell You see, somebody pushed me, I just pretended that I fell I said that I adored you but I could never tell For all that I know, I'll be gone when you go Music went through you and it took you to a place There ain't no doubt you'll find a welcoming embrace I said that I loved you, another hawk in space I'll be there for a while, yeah, I'll be there for a while Finding my own inarticulate prose Weirding out strangers and laughing at those Jaundiced and jaded, postured and posed Not that we're special, it's just that we're closing In on a place where we might get to be Living real people regularly Send you some stuff and be good like you asked Must promise remember the sixth and the last The sixth and the last
