See I've been here for thirty-some years Lookin' at myself in the same dirty mirror So it ain't like I don't comprehend Open that bottle, swallow that friend No crime to take a little too much Got time to drink away a few months Got a little cocaine habit But he says he only does it if somebody else has it Go do that shit, do that shit, lady She went vegetarian for the baby Third trimester, I see the kid kick She showed me outside when she gave me a cigarette Shit, there's no way to measure it Not every pony grows up to be a Pegasus Ya gotta let people be hypocrites Count your blessings and mind your business Stuck with yourself like the rest of us Dirt gets done and then we back to dust Runnin' in place, sun in my face Let me fly away, Heaven won't wait Stuck with yourself like the rest of us Dirt gets done and then we back to dust Runnin' in place, sun in my face Let me fly away, Heaven won't wait Heaven won't wait, let me fly away Get in my way everyday Heaven won't wait, let me fly away Get in my way everyday Just tryin' to keep my mind on work It's like that's the only way to love this life on Earth It's like everyone takes number one in the race 'Cause we all keep runnin' in place Here kitty kitty, can't train that fox Must be drinkin' that name brand scotch All of us cut from the same damn cloth Some of us never cut the price tags off She ended up on the pole With her heels pointin' at her Jesus she used to know Stripped her down to her naked body We made her drown in a lake full of patriarchy In between the pride and the misery With the infinite supply of sympathy Are these invisible walls that hold me Like this goldfish bowl is the whole sea Stuck with yourself like the rest of us Dirt gets done and then we back to dust Runnin' in place, sun in my face Let me fly away, Heaven won't wait Stuck with yourself like the rest of us Dirt gets done and then we back to dust Runnin' in place, sun in my face Let me fly away, Heaven won't wait Heaven won't wait, let me fly away Get in my way everyday Heaven won't wait, let me fly away Get in my way everyday
