I was burned in the heat of the moment,

Oh! it could've been the heat of the day

When I learned how my time had been wasted,

Dear fellows I turned away

Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder,

When I should happen to fall

Time and his bride growing older

I've got friends who will give me fuck all

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, La, la, la, la, la, la

Corner of Bleeker and nowhere, In the land of not quite day

A shiver runs down my backbone, Face in the mirror turns grey

So, I looked 'round for a hitch from a reindeer

Said you oughtta find him out in the day

I turned 'round to look for the snowman

To my surprise he'd melted away, yeah

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, La, la, la, la, la, la

The moon and the stars out of order

As the tide tends to ebb and sway

The sun in my soul's sinking lower

While the hope in my hands turns to clay

I don't ask that my feet fall on clover

I don't roam at opportunity's door

Why don't you ask my advice, take it slower

Then your story'd be your finest reward

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, La, la, la, la, la, la

Oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh

[guitar solo]

Lost on the path to attainment, Search in the eyes of the wise

When I bled from the heart of the matter (matchhead?)

I started bleeding without a disguise

Now everything's finally happened

Now and then you've got to take time to pause

When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around

Or you'll land in a boat without oars

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, La, la, la, la, la, na, na, baby

La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, La, la, la, la, la, la

Hey babe, Hey babe, Hey babe, I lost my way

Hey babe, Hey babe, I really, really did now.

Hey babe, Hey babe, I don't know where I'm gonna find it.

Hey babe, Hey babe, Do you wanna know,

o you really, really, wanna help me, yeah?

Let me tell you now, babe, Let me tell you

That it feels so good that it must be right

Now my babe, Let me tell you

That it feels so good that it must be right

Now my babe, Let me tell you

If it feels, if it feels, if it feels, if it feels so good,

so good, so good, Oh, yes
