Inever wanted to be a part of it You never asked me if I'm still doin' all right You were so blind You taught me a lesson and I'm still rehearsing it I tried to find a simple answer that night But I was lame in my mind Sweet voices, more excuses Damn, it took too long You ate me, tasted me And spit me out Tonight the smoke did clear I saved my soul in the easiest way I stay till I dive deep It's the only place where salvation's cheap I had no money for the cheapest aeroplane Believe me I would surely stay in the clouds To be lost and not found Just like that guy I would spread my wings and fly But I'm not Sammy and I ain't no bird so I stay At the Emerald Bar I won't be chasing your dreams that made me sick Being with you poisoned my days I won't be waiting for yesterdays to come Just one more drink that's the ultimate way
