raindrops on my glasses

raindrops on my glasses

for some reason, I can't see

the roadblocks and the turnstiles

that wait in front of me

I'm tripping in a puddle

my shoes are soaking wet

and I am walking these battered streets

to see if I can forget

no matter what I think about

I can't get you off my mind

even though I keep walking way

I'm still falling behind

they rain, it keeps on falling

and me, I do not care

to get you off my mind

I would walk anywhere

raindrops on my glasses

you still in my thoughts

it would be so much better

if you were someone I've forgot

I will go home soon

drenched and cold as snow

it would be so much better

if you were someone I didn't know

Jacob's ladder

I am trying

as hard as I can

I am climbing Jacob's ladder

but I am only a man

there's not much that is sadder

than to see my limitations

I ignore them and move on

it's a long way and it's dark

but I can see the dawn

I keep on moving

I cannot stop

until I 

reach the top

I am climbing

as high as I can

loserville

I stayed in bed this morning

until it turned into afternoon

this winter's so cold

and I'm feeling so old

that I don't know what to do

wake me up

fill my coffee cup

with something that will keep me warm

it's another day in loserville

keep me free from harm

keep me free from harm

when I was lost

when I was lost

you found me as a helpless child

where wolves and dragons run wild

and no one is round me

I paid the cost

I stood behind a doorless wall

gazing at the unfairness of it all

until you found me

          will you keep me

          free from harm

          will you keep me

          safe and warm

new day

I'm looking for a new day

not like yesterday or the day before

it's true I've got plenty 

but I always want more and more

I've got food to eat

a roof over my head

friends and family

what do I need instead?

I need to feel peace 

in my heart

where do I start?

very same thing

everyday I do the very same thing

very same thing

very same thing

that I do everyday

there is no up or down

right or wrong

I just accept it

as my way

so I look around

what do I see

so many people

in front of me

sometimes I need to be alone

nothing works out

no matter what happens

nothing works out

you can try your hardest

you can scream and shout

you can compromise

you can play real tough

but remember, fact is

your best ain't good enough

I do what I can

but nothing works out

everyone on earth knows

what I'm talking about

you don't stand a chance

you don't have a clue

nothing but trouble

is waiting for you
