Days Go By lyrics

When you light that funny cigarette
Would you pass it back to me
I`m feeling a little down and out
And it`ll keep me company
I`m just a long lost sinner
Living life here on the line
I`ll give it right back to you
I know it`s not really mine
Now don`t put it out, not right yet
It`s burning pretty good
Maybe i`ll have one more toke
You think i should
Oo-oo, days go by
I just sit around and get real high
Oo-oo, what a glow
I just hang out, they come and go
Hey, the walls are starting to move
The floor is way down there
What a buzz it is
There`s electricity in the air
Boy, i`m feeling really gone
I`m feeling really cool
I think i`ll have another one
I`m just another fool
You know they say it`s illegal
But what isn`t these days
No matter what you do
There`ll be somebody on your case



Oo-oo, days go by
It just seems like i sit around and get high
Oo-oo, shame on me
They`re going to put me in a penitentiary
I must not be together
Look at the shape i`m in
I just know people are saying
`he`s looking awful thin`
I guess i can count my blessings
Though i`ve always been this way
I guess i`ll quit tomorrow
Maybe another day
Oo-oo, days go by
I guess i`ll sit around and get real high
You know time has no absolute
It`s a just seems like it`s spent
Everything has a tendency to be so warped and bent
While looking here and there
I`m surprised to see
Everybody`s gone here
Everybody`s gone but me
Oo-oo, days go by
I just sit around and get real high
Oo-oo, what a glow
I just hang out, they come and go
