sundowner - mouth of a tiger

i’m worth five bucks or less
the future is down my neck
my restless soul takes stride
for across this great divide
but i won’t heed its cry
won’t follow its lifeline
it’s time to sink or swim
sail on or anchor in
i’m funny like an aimless fool
i’m as lucky as a funeral
i’ve got cliches to write
i get high as a kite
my dreams force me to wake
find meaning to this duty
find a way into the night
grant me with a reason why
i’m sick with the tv on
it drones in the lonely dawn
i’m funny like a nameless fool
i’m not looking at a glass half full
i’m tired of the same old pace
i hate this same old day
how easily i fill this space
handed down from the same old place
i fail with the old streetlights
i bark with the dogs at night
when the moon is full and bright
it smiles in the alley’s eyes
pin me up with the stars tonight
i’ve been looking for a place to shine
one day it’ll be my time
i’m not waiting for the bells to chime
i’ll brake like a traffic jam
i’ll sing like a slaughtered lamb
upside down like an hourglass
i’ve been waiting for the sands to pass
but the storms keep rolling in
sharp teeth on a howling wind
i’m like a penny in a fountain
thrown from a warm and distant palm unknown
now the world seems so clear
as it disappears
in the blink of a frozen eye
in the course of an hour gone by
one day my star will rise
a new path will open wide
like the mouth of a tiger
i will swallow all my pride
