First Drag Of The Day Lyrics
Don't make me do it, don't make me sell the things I loveThere's too much happening in this worldDon't choose the other side right awayIt's been left alone for a whileIf I can get to the words before that first smokeEverything seems to come out differentlyLeaving a large hole in my hipI've never tried to quitHere I go with the first drag of the daySometimes it makes me fall backwards on back into bedDon't stop me, don't correct mePlease don't interfere with meI'm trying to write as fast as I canYesterday wasn't so badI thought it a little worse than it wasI don't know why I tried to sabotage my dayI wanted everything my own wayI wanted it all my own way, so don't apologizeI learn to devise these ways of explaining awayHappenstance, you don't let me take a standAnd it sits inside on the great white picket fence deep insideSomeday that fence is going to fall in your yardAnd I hope you didn't plant anything too precious too close to the boundaryIt's starting to sound like it's time to sign offBut for once, I feel like something might have happenedMaybe I can't show this to youMaybe I can't show you everythingSome things have to be precious and pureSome things have to stay inside of meOr else I've given everything awayI wanted it all this wayI learn to devise these ways of explaining awaySo don't blame me, I won't blame youIt's just the first drag of the day
