lyrics

Do I have to be a star to be free of conflict?
Do I have to be alone to be free of all the things that make me sick?
I order a drink
The service is slow
Do I have to be a king, something big, to drown in my sorrows?

If I only had a car, I’d be sloping that valley
If I only had a car, I’d be free! I’d be drinking more reliably
I hasten my gaze and beckon you on
Do I have to be a saint for you to accept this ride along?

There is evidence that man is as cruel as he ever was
A tired man sits at the bar
His stool breaks
And we all laugh
Why is that?

Do I have to be nice to be your friend?
Do I even know the price? To be nice can be deafening!
I ask you what’s wrong...
“The energy I give to you is returning only partially, can’t you see I need some understanding too!”
