Roches - The Unrecovered One lyrics

rate me

Here I am I'm the unrecovered one<br />

You can talk to me if you want to if you want to<br />

You can shun me.<br />

<br />

I stumble through the streets with my pride and my arrogance<br />

I spit right in your face when you invite me to dance<br />

I go months and years at a time terminally unique<br />

With my pills and my bottle of wine<br />

I am very very very very very very very very weak.<br />

<br />

I can't get out of bed the hangover's got my head<br />

So I forgot to take the garbage out and put the kid to bed<br />

We're all wandering around in my house<br />

Like the night of the living dead<br />

I'm someone that you can look at and be glad<br />

You're not me instead.<br />

<br />

Underneath your sobriety and your piety and your quiet<br />

There's a human being there who's got a spirit and has to<br />

Learn how to fly it.<br />

<br />

The controls are on the panel<br />

And the manual's in the flotation device. But if it comes to<br />

Using that you've already crashed through thin ice.<br />

<br />

I'm not saying I'm better than you I feel like you're saying<br />

You're better than me<br />

You say "Tough luck I sobered up and now I'm running the<br />

Company"<br />

Your Higher Power he's like my God he'll take you out in a<br />

Flash you'll see<br />

And do the same for all your loved ones and the ones like me<br />

You pity.
