A Day in the Life

------------------------------------------------

Remember back to that summer day, dusty wet
I was at my buddy Cody’s house when the call came in
Said we need you at the shophouse for a new man
I jumped out, Cody didn’t understand

I rode back to the high hill side of town, suited still
The painted plaza shone the front gate, went up, gave in
I gathered up batches of oil from the slick stand
Stop! I jumped out, the man didn’t even care

It’s always a quick smack
Always sliding back to a dream that next time will change
Try again, get wacked, next time it will change
But nothing, only history, playing again
Play it again

This is how a day in the life goes
Upside down or rolling fast
It’s a strong and heartless game
Rent for rent, but
I’ve got a pocket full of hope and my hand
And the thick, thick with my name written all the way

Stepping out to a bitter friend today, wants it all straight cold
His team of satellite men surrounding as I came on through
Can you deliver on the flank and bring us some new stash?
I punched out, nobody understands a day in this life

It’s always a quick smack
Always sliding back to a dream that next time will change
Try again, get wacked, next time it will change
But nothing, only history, playing again
Play it again

My name is written in the street cracks
They always come for me
Quick smacked, deep wacked
This is my story, a day in this life that nobody understands

Chasing love, a day in the life like this, make it end
There's got to be a place where hope sings my name
I walked past the tracks to the station and asked a man
Help! I gathered up my sack and boarded my faith
I followed him, I cared, I spoke the word
A day in the life, the story changed

It used to be a quick smack
Always sliding back to a dream that next time will change
Turned away, found a hack, a new man, a new stand
Playing something different today

This is how a day in the life goes
Upside down or rolling fast
It’s a strong and heartless game
Rent for rent, and
I’ve got a pocket full of hope and my hand
The thick, thick with my name written all the way

In the thick, my name written all the way
In the thick, my name written all the way
In the thick, my name written all the way
