My beater slowly cleaves the fog
On the passenger side, two large all-dressed*
The November sky is in tears
Outside, we can't see the addresses
The guy on the radio said so earlier
Seems like the economy's busted
Times are hard for delivery men
People don't tip, gas is expensive
That's it, I'm going back to the restaurant
To finish my shift, to punch my card
Like the manager just told me
It isn't tonight we're gonna get rich
Thanks a lot for the assessment
It just makes me wanna get sloshed
Nevermind, I promised it to AA
I'll stay sober as a judge
One day at a time
My beater restarts in the cold
On the passenger side, no more tenderness
The sky of my days is in tears
You never left me an address
The weatherman said so earlier
Seems like there's a depression in the air
Times are hard for my li'l heart
Whaddya want, you were dear to me
So I'm leaving the restaurant
Alone again with myself
Like the manager just told me
It certainly isn't tonight I'm gonna get laid
Cheap shot, but hey, the truth
Comes out of the mouths of sons of bitches**
And, well, I admit it, it sucks to be me
But each day has enough trouble of its own***
(Chorus)
Like a beat up star in the night
I hang on my sky and I survive
I so desperately need a friend****
In the vastness of my boredom
I seek the same thing as everybody else
A bit of love on my bruises
Meanwhile I go in circles in the night
In Galaxy Pizza's neighbourhood
My beater stays the course in the darkness
On the passenger side, a huge desert
January's sky tells itself scary stories
While casting a warm spell on winter
My friend Matéo saw you earlier
Seems like you're back to throwing your life away
Times are good for your dealer
It makes me sad to see you in misery
Tonight I'll hold on the steering wheel
Weak bastion against my demons
120 days I've been sober
I swear that sometimes it feels like forever
In the end, we weren't alike
You wait until you grow wings
While I only wish to see the sun
Through my freezing windshield
(Chorus)
Like a beat up star in the night
I hang on my sky and I survive
I so desperately need a friend
In the vastness of my boredom
I seek the same thing as everybody else
A bit of love on my bruises
Meanwhile I go in circles in the night
In Galaxy Pizza's neighbourhood
Meanwhile I go in circles in the night
In Galaxy Pizza's neighbourhood
