Road to Joy Bright Eyes

[Verse 1]
The sun came up with no conclusion
Flowers sleeping in their beds
This city's cemetery's humming
I’m wide awake, it’s morning

[Verse 2]
I have my drugs, I have my woman
They keep away my loneliness
My parents they have their religion
But sleep in separate houses

[Chorus 1]
I read the body count out of the paper
And now it’s written all over my face
No one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter
Sometimes that’s just the most comfortable place

[Verse 3]
So I’m drinking, breathing, writing, singing
Everyday I'm on the clock
My mind races with all my longings
But can't keep up with what I got

[Verse 4]
So I hope I don’t sound too ungrateful
What history gave modern man
A telephone to talk to strangers
Machine guns and a camera lens
