there's no holiday
no cure for the weather
just a day set aside for heartbreak, dead centre
and there's a blackbird over on my windowsill
i never, ever have but
i think i might as well
i figure what the hell
and we're all the same
and i know that we've all been there
but it seems i've been here
more than my fair share
there's a storm comin' in
and i'm tired as hell
i got a head full of red
and it's ringing like a dinner bell
there's a man at the bank, never leave me alone
he got a three-piece suit
and a cellular phone
and what he wants, man i don't know
--
[Chorus]
and we're all the same
and i know that we've all been there
but it seems i've been here
more than my fair share
i hold my head up high
to the best of my ability
they say the first step's the hardest
but the second one's killing me
--
there's a place i know just down the road
and it makes my very blood run oh so cold
and there's a girl i know
and she crazy as hell
she got a voice like a feather
but she kiss like a shotgun shell
(it goes to show you never can tell)
