Verse 1
It is sometime in the mid morning
I sit alone with my cigarettes and coffee
The waitress fills my cup of life again
But, it does not wake me from my dream
Verse 2
I have no place where I call home
I have no place to lay my worries down
The place where I lay my head is not home
It is just another hole where I stay
Verse 3
Some pop sensation plays on the radio
There is no soul just cheep harmony
My guitar lays cold in my bed
While I listen to this shit and burn my lungs
Bridge
So fill my cup of coffee one more time
So I can stay awake in this nightmare
Light my cancer stick one more time
So I can breathe my last breath
I did not sign up for this life
But I will manage till my cup is empty
and my cigarette burns away
