Don't tell me how much it hurts
When you're only wasted or coming back down
Trying hard to suss out which one is worse
Your dreams or the cold light of morning
Last night the cat dragged you home
And now you're shambles over the floor
Your shaking fingers and old skin and bone
Once more a little worse for the living
How you end up where you at
Well the moon only knows it
So let it guide you back
Light your way
Get yourself together son
Get on home
Cause it don't get no easier
The farther you roam
Some people spin you a long, long yarn
Put on so freely
Come on so strong
Ply your affection with criminal charm
Come around and clean you out while you're sleeping
Oh, you pretty foot
With your hair hanging down
One day your blinders will biock out the sun
There may be daylight
But it's way across town
Right now it's just the wee hours creeping
How you end up where you at
Well the moon only knows it
So let it guide you back
Light your way
Get yourself together son
Get on home
Cause it don't get no easier
The farther you roam
Speaking a language that no one knows
Like throwing darts into empty space
Under the streetlight with blood on your clothes
Once more a little worse for the living
How you end up where you at
Well the moon only knows it
So let it guide you back
Light your way
Get yourself together son
Get on home
Cause it don't get no easier
The farther you roam
