Today’s Lyrics – Steve Tannen ‘Sick to the Bone’

October 3rd, 2008

Let the medicine take over
Close the blinds with my hands
I stayed in bed most of October
I thought I was well but I guess I am

Sick to the bone of waking lonely
And trying to keep my head from going under
I keep going so sick to the bone and still
Stuck to my guns, drinking alone, sick to the bone

The very unmarried ladies of Avenue A
Say “Spread the wealth baby, spread the wealth”
Oh are you feeling a little unsteady today?
Sugar have I got something for you
It’s something strong, like medicine
Like the beard of the old man, like you know I am

Sick to the bone of waking lonely
And trying to keep my head from going under
I keep going, sick to the bone and still
Stuck to my guns, drinking alone, sick to the bone

Hey you better heal yourself
Hey you better lock your door
‘Cause it’s kill or cure

I thought I had the inoculation
It turns out not to be the case
And the sky is loaded like a question
Like the beard of the old man, like you know I am

Sick to the bone of waking lonely
And trying to keep my head from going under
well, I keep going
sick to the bone and still
Stuck to my guns, drinking alone

Oh and I been
Sick to the bone of waking lonely
Could you make me well?
Oh I doubt it.
’cause I keep going
sick to the bone and still
Stuck to my guns, drinking alone sick to the bone.
– Steve Tannen ‘Sick to the Bone’
