The Saddest Thing I Know

[Verse 1] How long you been asleep at the wheel? Out of control, gathering up speed Your heart is on the dashboard, head's in the street I hope that you wake up in time to scream [Verse 2] Race me for tail or for hits Your attitude is mud and your promise is dead You counteract the fuel with the drink and the drugs It's not what you did, it's what you will do So take another turn on the merry-go-round Your numbers are come up now your king of the town So buckle up and chase yourself a new thrill You're never gonna feel like before [Chorus 1] You keep coming back for more To find me almost knocking on your door Say man you are the saddest thing I know You got a cold sweat begging for the score You lose it all as you stumble to the floor Say man you are the saddest thing I know [Chorus 2] You keep coming up for air To find your own foot pushing on your head Say man you are the saddest thing I know I see the dried up lotus in your hair You got the old kaleidoscopic stare Say man you are the saddest thing I know [Verse 3] When you gonna finally admit It's the end of the line you've been hammered and hit Your body is a wreck and your mind is amiss I know what you want I think this is it
