Aimee Mann - Barfly lyrics

Spent my nights in a sleeping bag smelling kerosene thinking fog and sand was gonna keep me clean feeding all the bluejays at the wrong address where they went instead I could only guess Tell the barfly who runs this town you won’t get high you’ll just get down tell the barfly it’s on his dime you won’t get high so do the time Took a breath full of iodine and I overdosed and the tide crept high like a watery ghost and no one needs your kind of a dope sick clown you can always find sitting one seat down Tell the barfly who rolls the dice your numbers up so roll it twice tell the barfly it’s on his dime you won’t get high so do the time Honey, I’m not the one who’s of use to you now I get an hour’s sleep at night and I can’t see how you deserve all the mess that even guilt won’t allow Tell the barfly who runs this town you won’t get high you’ll just get down tell the barfly it’s on his dime you won’t get high so do the time
