Song Lyrics

Eight AM with a coffee kick start
Step outside to my broken-down car
I know I've forgotten my pack of cigarettes
The whole day's like a slow train coming
Sometimes I find myself running
Tell me, man, is this as good as the whole world's gonna get?

I get the feeling it's a new day, sun is rising
I get the feeling everything is gonna change

Search the road for some friendly faces
My legs lead me to some strung-out places
My mind burns with the words that I forget
I don't seem to be able to lose me
I warm the streets that shake and bruise me
Tell me, man, is this as good as the whole world's gonna get?

I get the feeling this was sent to test me
Can I please get someone to bless me?
I still forgot those damn cigarettes
'Cause I travel in my own illusion
Cut a path through all the confusion
Tell me, man, is this as good as the whole world's gonna get?

I get the feeling it's a new day, sun is rising
I get the feeling everything is gonna change

I fall asleep with the TV too loud
Spending time staying in with the out-crowd
Dreams come and leave me in cold sweats
Tomorrow feels like a new day coming
I can't see it being all for nothing
And I know it's as good as the whole world's gonna get
