When We're Through

I woke up early evening and I knew I was alone Did the sun come up or did it rain again, I'll never know I felt the acid in my stomach rise above my throat as I dialled There was a message from my mother From about 7a.m. said I've forgotten what you sound like And I'm wonderin' how you've been I cried myself to asleep back on the floor Unconscious in denial Life is just a little part of what the world will do To get it's point across it beats you ‘til you're black & blue And decides just when you're in or when you're out ‘Cause when you're through you're through There's a cafי just ‘round the corner from the home I call a house I sit and play sudoku ‘til I figure some sh1t out I drink the day's first coffee and I smoke the last cigarette of my life And I'm wondering out of all the crazy places that I've been Would it ever be as good as sittin' here just with a friend? Where it's always understood it might be time, to switch the coffee to wine Life is just a little part of what the world will do To get it's point across it beats you ‘til you're black & blue And decides just when you're in or when you're out ‘Cause when you're through you're through Yeah, Yeah. Whoaaaah, Ohhhh. Whoaaaaahhhhhh Ohhhh, Ohhh, Ohhh. Oh. Janis sings to me just like she's sitting by my side And I wonder just how many times she sat like me and cried I've made it past the age of twenty-seven so there's no use in dyin' And my friends have asked the question: “Baby, will you be okay?” I wanna tell them yes ‘cause I know that's what I should say But I've got no crystal ball and I can't bring myself to lie and why should I? Hey, yeahhhh - I think that….. Life is just a little part of what the world will do It's brings us to the brink and beats the sh1t right outta you And decides just when you're in or when you're out ‘Cause when you're through you're through Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Life is just a little part of what the world will do It's brings us to the brink and beats the sh1t right outta you And decides just when you're in or when you're out When you're through you're through Ayyye, Oh. I guess I'm through Mmmmm When you're through, you're through.
