The Roches - The Unrecovered One lyrics

rate me

Here I am I'm the unrecovered one

You can talk to me if you want to if you want to

you can shun me.

I stumble through the streets with my pride and my arrogance

I spit right in your face when you invite me to dance

I go months and years at a time terminally unique

With my pills and my bottle of wine

I am very very very very very very very very weak.

I can't get out of bed the hangover's got my head

So I forgot to take the garbage out and put the kid to bed

We're all wandering around in my house

like the night of the living dead

I'm someone that you can look at and be glad

you're not me instead.

Underneath your sobriety and your piety and your quiet

there's a human being there who's got a spirit and has to

learn how to fly it.

The controls are on the panel

and the manual's in the flotation device. But if it comes to

using that you've already crashed through thin ice.

I'm not saying I'm better than you I feel like you're saying

you're better than me

You say "Tough luck I sobered up and now I'm running the

company"

Your Higher Power he's like my God he'll take you out in a

flash you'll see

And do the same for all your loved ones and the ones like me

you pity.
