Chorus They don't know I'm more inspired, the day after in bed When I come to my senses, and realize what I said If I could've--if I would've--if I didn't or if I did I tried to find a mate, in a drunken state I shoulda stayed home insead |
Chorus And that's when I'm inspired, the day after in bed When I come to my senses, and realize what I said If I could've --if I would've--if I didn't or if I did I tried to find a mate, in a drunken state I shoulda stayed home instead Verse 2 Up on my pedestal, or what others call a stool I feel like a king, as I act like a fool Tellin' the same story, to anyone with an ear They nod their heads and laugh, but they can't even hear |

Bridge As I look around, I see the heads hung down Wanna be swept off their feet, before they hit the ground... Verse 3 The few that are slumped, up against the wall Start diggin' for change, when they hear the last call When I squint to see the clock, through my blood shot eyes I try countin' down the hours, 'til the next sunrise Chorus Cause that's when I'm inspired, the day after in bed When I come to my senses, and realize what I said If I could've--if I would've--if I didn't or if I did I tried to find a mate, in a drunken state I shoulda stayed home instead |
