How Good Things Are

I'm just living 'cause I'm obligated
I keep trying 'cause I've got to get it right
I pulled the trigger but I hesitated
lying here beside myself

I go to work 'cause I've got nothing going
I count the hours by the second in my head
The guy beside me's gonna drive me crazy
talkin' 'bout his children like that

I read the paper on the bus I ride home
I see the pictures of the people who are dead
and I imagine what it must be like to
just lay down all your debts

Everybody's gotta' find a god they love
Everybody's gotta' figure out the end
No one can tell you how to live forever
and who would want to in light of all of this

I go to work just to avoid tommorow
and I'm afraid that I am loosing all my hair
I told the doctor just to medicate the part
of me that still is here

I'm drinking water with my whiskey these days
I'm watching William beam himself around the stars
I call my mother every second Sunday
