In a little old place cleanin' our polished bar A lot of empty bottles and I helped put 'em there Look in the mirror I can plainly see a red eyed guy looking back at me When I get normal everything is gonna be alright I think when I get back normal everything is gonna be alright Streets outside are crooked and a way too long It's so muddy in the gutter gone long much too strong I don't guess I'll get my baby back am on a rollercoaster on a crazy track When I get normal everything is gonna be alright I hope when I get back to normal everything is gonna be alright [ guitar ] Stairs to my room are narrow and a hard to climb Keep steppin' up one slippin' back two at a time An awkward keyhole misplaced chair guess I told everybody that I'm here When I get back normal everything is gonna be alright oh oh ooh When I get back normal everything is gonna be alright I'm a sick sick man ooh my aching head I should get up but I guess I better stay in bed Ever since my baby's gone I've been loaded from dusk till dawn When I get normal everything is gonna be alright I got a dandy when I get back normal everything is gonna be alright
