Gonna Slide Away

(J. Pouyadou)
Well I've got my doubts and my share of pain
I've dragged my sorry ass around the world in vain
I've lost my brain to the One Eye Jack
I've lost my voice to the twenty-first track
And I try and I try to make sense of it all
As I'm running like mad inside the vicious circle
And I don't really mind 'cause it's been fun at time
Whenever you were there to stir things up for me, but

Now I'm gonna slide away
Because I don't fit in
The game I have to play
And maybe I will get away
With the many mistakes
I've made along the way
And I hope I'm gonna dream away
The dullness and the pain
Of any given day
I guess I'm just a runaway
But I won't get under
Anybody's sway

Well I've given my guitar to the girl next door
My stock of gar to the bush doctor
I've gotten rid of the memory
Of Little Emily toking continuously
And I have sought shelter among city slickers
And I have lost myself in a web of backstreets
And I have spent more time than I could remember
Waisted as a street lord at Jeremy's counter, but

Now I'm gonna slide away
Because I don't fit in
The game I have to play
And maybe I will get away
With the many mistakes
I've made along the way
And I hope I'm gonna dream away
The dullness and the pain
Of any given day
I guess I'm just a runaway
But I won't get under
Anybody's sway
