Way Out of Everything

Started asking around town about you

I asked the cute girl who works down at whole foods

She said you moved to Vegas

Or at least was vacationing there

She saw my limp and thought I was a war vet

Vietnam but I am a little too young for that

Maybe desert storm

Or one of those Middle Eastern wars



But I wouldn't go there for no reason

It's not the hard rock, but I got the 4 seasons

Lost twenty at blackjack

I'm not getting that money back



Sat by dollar slots but never did feed it

I bought a girl a drink but she didn't need it

Then I looked at her tip jar

I never do carry any cash



Cause I need a way out of everything

Cause I'm guilty of everything

Lord, what did you do to me?

Cause I need a reason for everything

Cause I'm unsure of everything

Lord, what did you do to me?



But I was only in town for one season

I'd be lucky if I slept for more than a wink then

I bought a flat and a black cat

I'm not getting that money back



I sat by dollar slots but never did feed it

I bought a girl a drink but she didn't need it

Then I looked at her tip jar

I never do carry any cash



Cause I need a way out of everything

Cause I'm guilty of everything

Lord, what did you do to me?

Cause I need a reason for everything

Cause I'm unsure of everything

Lord, what did you do to me?



I need forethought

Lost in mall rot

My therapist says I'm good, but who really knows

I'm working hard but no one is there for me
