I JUST SLEEP IN THE DIRT
I HAVE A COAT OF COLORS
I WEAR IT VERY NICE
I HAD A HEART FULL OF LIES

TO CHOOSE IS A CHORE
MY VOICE IS TOO SORE
TO CALL THEM BACK OUT OF THE FOREST

THEY'RE LIABLE TO SLIP
IF YOU LOOSEN YOUR GRIP
I KNOW MINE SUNK ON THAT SHIP

THOUGHT THIS HEART WOULD NEVER BREAK ME
SELFISH ME
I COULD HAVE DIED IN YOUR ARMS
NOW I'M BACK AT YOUR FEET

WE'VE GOT ONE MORE TO GO
AND THE LAST ONE WAS A MISTAKE
I'D POUR YOU ANOTHER
BUT I THINK I HEARD THE BOTTLE BREAK
ON THE BEDROOM FLOOR
WE'LL COUNT THE HOURS AWAY
I SEE NO SENSE IN SLEEPING
IT'S NOT THAT I'M SCARED
I'VE GOT TO

WE GOT ONE MORE TO GO
AND THE LAST ONE NEARLY KILLED ME
I'M TALKING TO THE DEVIL
BUT I THINK I HEARD AN ANGEL SING
LA LA LA LA
AND THIS YEAR HAS JUST BEGUN
SO DON'T COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS YET
LAY DOWN BESIDE ME
I'M IN NEED OF REST
I'M LOOKING FOR A HAND TO GUIDE ME
FAR AWAY FROM THE REST
