Drowning in ribbon on the strip Pockets empty and nothing in my hand With no idea livin' on twenty-six Took a drive with my mind in a twist Pedal down, needle is up Onto the ocean's edge Into the pitch of black mist Another night of my life Wasting time with my life I hear the spirit say Look into my soul You can see it's all in vain Telling you to wait another day As I felt the sand The troubled air was cold And there she was in the moonlight glow Holding on for someone old But it wasn't air she could breathe It was a lesson learned to see That what I've become, this could be me Another night of my life Wasting time with my life I hear the spirit say Look into my soul You can see it's all in vain Telling you to wait, another day I hear the spirit say Look into my soul You can see it's all in vain Telling you to wait another day Take control of the things that once mattered And your heart will live on
