Life Boat

---
So now there's nothing left to wish upon
except for passing cars
The cacophony of city lights
is drowning out the stars
---
This park bench is a life boat
and the rest a big dark sea
And I'm just gonna lie here until
something comes and finds me
---
Yeah I got this tired old face
still grinning most of the time
Just 'cause it don't have a better way
to express what's on it's mind
---
And I got this running monologue
entertaining in it's outrage
And I've got the air of an animal
That's been living in a cage
---
Every time I open my mouth
I take off my clothes
I'm raw and frostbitten from
being exposed
---
I got red scabby hands
and purple scabby feet
And you can smell me coming from
halfway down the street
