Lately you've been a people pleaser With a set of worried eyes A tidy keeper and a lonely sleeper With no one to satisfy Lately it's been that everything good's Been happening somewhere else The skin that you're in Needs some gettin out But that's something that I can't help Lately, how are you lately? Yeah, I'm fine Lately, how are you lately? Yeah, I'm fine Ya wake up in the morning with A rectangle in your stomach You're awkward and you're queasy as You bite your bleeding nails You got it easy, you got it easy But I can't say you've ever tried The only reason you get out and dream Is the chance that you'll just die... You make enough, you say The gettin's rough, but you make Enough to share Then you dig in your back pocket And you feel like nothin's there How to begin, you ask "When does it end?" I say, "I think I might have a cure," I hand you a smoke and a shot of gin You say, "that's what friends are for." Lately, how are you lately? Yeah, I'm fine Lately, how are you lately? Yeah, I'm fine Hey, alright
