Before I Do lyrics

There`s no more fame to address
did you impress
in all fairness yes
so just cancel my game, if it`s all the same to you

I`ve had clear thoughts
tied in black and blue knots
but you remember that I forgot
to track them down, to track you down
track me down

call me if you need my help
to watch you - help me! help you

I`ve tried it all before
(I`ve had good times)
and it`s not alot of laughs
(my best one yet)
and there`s a hole in my heart

you carried your vice twice
like a basket full of roses and the
pearly gate now closes with you inside.

How should I drink to this
my trains been stalled for ages and
this means me standing still with a
first class ticket
so stick me with it, I`ll stick with it

I`m usually in mourning
(I`ve had good times)
in the afternoon and night
(my best one yet)
otherwise I`m asleep
(I never had enough time)
At least I`ve got a lot of room
and the alarm is set for noon
(to play you my `love you` set)
and it`s going to go off
before I do
(I`ve had good times)

SPEAKING DURING INSTRUMENTAL:

so he was in this, this hospital
checkin out the phone he misunderstood
and I was speakin firm, very talkatively at the time
and he was walking around with a dress on
totally dressed with, with his arm down
and he said, I dunno what I`m doing here
I`m a business man
he didn`t come and tell me
they totally misunderstood me you know
this is a whole, whole mistake here
this is a whole fuckin mistake
but I can`t explain it and they don`t wanna listen to me
you know, you know this
no they didn`t, they didn`t listen to me, you can`t help it
I couldn`t explain it, but business is business
and then there`s fuckin this other time
this fuckin town, they didn`t wanna let me out
they didn`t wanna let me telephone you directly
these bastards,
these bastards stuck me in here and I wanted to talk to my lawyer
now I`m totally pissed, man
you`re the first guy I`ve met since I, since I got here
now what, what should I do?
look, maybe you can help me out here
maybe you can get me out of here
the hell with the girl
I don`t care who you are
I run 10 kilometers a day
and they put me down for a nice, nice long stay
anyway now I`m here for a while now
you know, I`ll just have a good time
