Some memories lay heavy down on my mind Some days I've cared and some days I'd rather die Sometimes I get so thirsty that I drink 'til I'm blind I gave up on tomorrow tonight In my dreams there's a needle and a spoon There's a pair of dice, a loaded gun, baby me and you And you're sawing on a fiddle and I'm wondering which to shoot Everything's so complicated now I am coming down Looking for a means to a new end All my friends are falling out or packing in Yesterday I prayed that the sun would shine for you As I watched the sky fade to blue Money never meant much to me It came and it went and it never changed a thing 'Cause the hunger in my belly it quenched by fancy things It's knowing that I am free
