It's been a long, long day
And now the day is done
And the sun is sitting by my side
My back is a-hurting me
My heart is a-hurting me
And I feel like its the end of the ride
I want a sleep that's hard and fast
But I'm afraid it'll be my last
I will always be a stranger
Who never feels at home
Who does not really want
And is not really wanted
Who can never belong
Who must always be
A little in love with death
It's been a wild, wild road
And now the road's at end
And my car has run out of gas
I am out in nowheresville
Up the street from oblivion
Not the greener side of the grass
No place to check in for the night
Feeling impenitent and contrite
We are such things as rubbish is made of
So let's drink up and forget it
