Before I do

Sloan


There's no more fame to address 
Did you impress? 
In all fairness, yes 
So just cancel my game 
If it's all the same to you 

I've had clear thoughts 
Tied in black and blue knots 
But you remember that I forgot 
To track them down 
To track you down 
Track me down 

Call me if you need my help 
To watch you - help me, help you 

I've tried it all before 
(I've had a good time) 
And it's not a lot of laughs 
(My best one yet) 
And there's a hole in my heart 

You carried your vice twice 
Like a basket full of roses 
And the pearly gate now closes 
With you inside 

How should I drink to this? 
My train's been stalled for ages 
And this means me standing still 
With a first class ticket 
So stick me with it 
I'll stick with it 

Just call me if you need my help 
To watch you - help me, help you 

I'm usually in mourning 
(I've had a good time) 
In the afternoon and night 
(My best one yet) 
Otherwise I'm asleep 
(I never had enough time) 
At least I've got a lot of room 
And the alarm is set for noon 
(To play you my "love you" set) 
And it's gonna go off 
Before I do 
(I've had a good time) 

(Speaking during instrumental) 
So he was in this, this hospital 
Checkin' out the phone he misunderstood 
And I was speakin' firmly, very talkatively at the time 
And he was walking around with a dress on 
Totally dressed with, with his arm down 
And he said, I dunno what I'm doing here 
I'm a business man 
He didn't come and tell me 
They totally misunderstood me you know 
This is a whole, whole mistake here 
This is a whole fuckin' mistake 
But I can't explain it and they don't wanna listen to me 
You know, you know this 
No they didn't, they didn't listen to me 
You can't help it 
I couldn't explain it, but business is business 
And then there's fuckin' this other time 
This fuckin' town, they didn't wanna let me out 
They didn't wanna let me telephone you directly 
These bastards 
These bastards stuck me in here and I wanted to talk to my lawyer 
Now I'm totally pissed, man 
You're the first guy I've met since I, since I got here 
Now what, what should I do? 
Look, maybe you can help me out here 
Maybe you can get me out of here 
The hell with the girl 
I don't care who you are 
I run 10 kilometres a day 
And they put me down for a nice, nice long stay 
Anyway now I'm here for a while now 
You know, I'll just have a good time
