five o'clock and the day begins

i drown my head

to watch it sink or swim

coming down from yesterday

we might get through

weigh yourself

then you weigh your friends

you weigh the truth

you feel it slipping in

ill give it up in an hour or two

well be back soon



i live my life

its getting better every day

i dont feel quite right

its getting better every day



and it comes and goes by now

yes it comes and goes by now

well it comes and goes but now its

getting better every day



trick myself just to pass the time

to kill the day

its starting to unwind

sinking fast in the morning light

we came unglued

another drink just for yesterday

to stem the tide

i feel it slip away

another trip just to drown my head

well be back soon



i live my life

its getting better every day

i dont feel quite right

its getting better every day



and it comes and goes by now

yes it comes and goes by now

well it comes and goes but now its

getting better every day



satans on the line

santas on the line

ice creams on the line

major barbaras on the line

if god is on the line

then guilt is on the line

jealousies on the line

i got you on the line



well be back soon

well be back soon

well be back soon

well be back soon



and it comes and goes by now

yes it comes and goes by now

well it comes and goes but now

now its getting better every day
