Like A Record Player lyrics

I`m like a record player
I keep goin` round
with a needle in my arm
making someone else`s sound
and lately I`ve been dreaming
of blue and empty skies
but nothing like that ever
crosses red and weary eyes

I`ve been traveling with bottles
working close with cans
sitting up forever with my best friends in a van
They`ve been saying "just a living"
but I don`t know what they mean
cuz I don`t think they`ll ever be looking live to me
it`s the only game that I know how to play

[Chorus:]
The time, the time, to say goodbye
passed us long ago.
and I would say I (we`ve) overstayed
my welcome but you know
I don`t think I`m (we`re) ever going home

I don`t need a doctor
cuz anyone can see
that I had all of these shots
and I am still sick as I can be
I think I need to rest my eyes
so baby come with me
lay down here beside me
keep me warm while I sleep

There`s trouble on the way
huh! you poised to leave?
there always is and will
sit and have a drink with me
where we go all we got is these days that we made
but I don`t wanna waste them being wistful or afraid

Without all of you I`d be even lower down
You know what I want to say but I can`t get it out

The time, the time, to say goodbye
passed us long ago.
and I would say we`ve overstayed
my welcome but you know
I don`t think we`re ever going home
I don`t think we`re ever going home, oh no!
