Everything but Me
(Balaban)
Wake up to see the same old face,
same old eyes, same old place
Can't seem to get a grip on reality
Sometimes I'm fine and then I'm tall
Sometimes I'm not and then I crawl
If life is a joke, I guess it's on me
I wonder when I crossed that line
Don't worry, I'm just fine
I can't fly, but I can crawl
I'm your fool forever
And when I'm high, I feel so small
I'm just not too clever
What you get, is what you see
This is everything but me
This is everything but me
Smiles to the left and to the right
Sometimes the lights are just too bright
That's when I'm on the outside looking in
Give me a drink and watch me sink
Pour me the booze and see me lose
My last litte bit of dignity down the drain
I wonder when I crossed that line
Don't worry, I'm just fine
I can't fly, but I can crawl
I'm your fool forever
And when I'm high, I feel so small
I'm just not too clever
What you get, is what you see
This is everything but me
This is everything but me
