Black Train Jack Regrets
Up in the morning got to get outside A few hours early to get some overtime The sun splashes on the wall right after dawn Charge his battery got to last all night Coffee and a cigarette starts his day off right In Central Park a dog runs across the lawn Regrets Work every day just trying to stay ahead Slaving like an animal he wishes he was dead Uptown downtown through the underground New York subways make a certain sound Everybody's got somewhere to go He thinks to himself as he looks to check the time The latent images in other peoples minds Autumn mornings have thoughts all their own This cannot be what life is for He's fighting a war Just to remain alive On the way home he stops At the local video store Because he rented Annie Hall On the night before He's got a burritto in his bag He's staying in tonight Because what's the use in going out On a Tuesday night This cannot be what life is for He's fighting a war Just to remain alive Happiness should not be a dream Or only a scheme Who's foundation is based on lies Next day got to do it again there is no end Until the day he dies Find something that you will enjoy And do it now boy Because this is our only life
