So Tragic Lyrics

Blinded by the whiteout, freezin' in the heat

Decked out in bad rags, you're a victim of the street

Whispers from the TV, of promises and lies

Imagining your lifetime, while your body dies

Watchin' neon sunsets to jukebox serenades

Looking for compassion, you only find charades

Stranded in the city, you're wanderin' through the night

There ain't no thing like pity – only death and fright, yeah yeah yeah!

Six a.m. wakeup, but you ain't into sleep

You rearrange your heatbeat with a hit and you take it deep

Tragic hopeless outlook, your eyes have turned to stone

Your life's a 30 second romance in a no parking zone

Trapped in endless night, you're stumblin' all alone

You're slammed into the pavement, can't you hear the song?

The world goes by without you, yeah, won't stop to let you on

You just don't pay attention – you're as good as gone, yeah yeah yeah!

How did it ever come to this, you're the mighty curtain peeker

What used to take two now takes four and the mind is getting weaker

At first it started out of fun, and not a way of life

Now it seems you'll take anything and everything just to ease the strife

Mister grim reaper's got his eye on you, you know he never sleeps

Now there's laughter in the background, that devil he plays for keeps

How long has it been this time, four days maybe five?

That's the funny thing about life, is in the end no one survives it, no one!
