I've never been there
I've never done that
I haven't walked as far or long as you have
Maybe one day my lungs will thank me
Maybe either way they'll just turn black
But if I have no expectations, I cannot be disappointed
And if I have no aspirations, I can't fail
So I'll unionize my workplace, yeah
I'll unionize my bedroom
I will unionize my cell phone and my head
I've never felt too certain just what lies behind the curtain
And my hands they start the shake as my heart begins to race
But I'll get by with red eyes, drinking coffee as black as the sea
Even if it makes no difference when I'm gone, I'll be free
I took the time I had for granted, not once making up my mind
But is that really what's important, or had the word been redefined?
So I'll take these cheap wine headaches straight from the bottle
Watch my wounds start to congeal
Watch my bloody blisters begin to heal
It's all still touch-and-go, this cross-your-fingers situation
And this beehive in my head keeps on buzzing
But I'll get by drinking red wine, chasing coffee as black as the sea
Even if it makes no difference when I'm gone, I'll be free
