You used to feel like a smoker shivering in the cold Waiting outside the bar till the opener's over But now you feel like a drinker, 20 days off the sauce Down at the liquor store trying to call your sponsor You used to feel like the forest fire burning But now you feel like a child throwing tantrums for your turn You used to sound like a prophet And everyone wanted to know How you could tell the truth without losing that soft glow But now you feel like a salesman closing another deal Or some drunk ship captain raging after the white whale You used to feel like a forest fire burning But now you feel like a child throwing tantrums and then some You used to feel like the prodigal returning But now, now you hate what you've made And you want to watch it burn From Letras Mania
