Carpe Diazepam

Can I keep a steady hand?
Carpe Diazepam
I'm cracking up but I don't care
Still trying to walk the line
I swear that I'm alright
Carry on, playboy
...wait, you got a light?

Shame on me
I know I've let you down lately
And if you're gonna freeze me out
I'm ready now

I'm comin' by to see what's up
Have a beer or two and chop it up, but
By the time I leave I can't walk

I'm not a man when I start to float, I'm
Just three kids in a trench coat
Listenin' to Mac, walkin' t'ward the tracks

Shame on me
I know I've let you down lately
And if you're gonna freeze me out
I'm ready now

Never around, never around, I fall down
Never around, never around, I fall down
Never around, never around, I fall down

I didn't know she was crying 'til I
Up and left again
My shirt was wet where her head had been
And I fell to pieces then
But oh, the merry goes 'round
For Mr. Not-Around

All the healthy living shit
Seemed so sanctimonious –
What d'ya do when you're with your friends?
(Never around, never around, I fall down)

It's been an awful lot of fun
But I don't remember much
Have you seen my jacket or my keys and cards?
(Never around, never around, I fall down)

I crawl home with fever sweats
Have I pissed the bed again?
Moonlight and roses, what a cool boyfriend
(Never around, never around, I fall down)

It's been nice to straighten up
And not once have I been shunned
Everyone gets it and that's unheard of
(Never around, never around, I'm home)

I'm changing
And I've been feeling everything
It's hard to believe Sunday shines
Even when it's rainin'
When I'm off to the shops
Man it feels like a daydream
Just to be on my feet
And steady
