It was Monday or Tuesday Or one of them damn days I was staring backwards from the sun Through an unrelenting haze I was shaking, reaching for my cup Trying to stir my life around 'Cause I thought I saw my baby On the other side of town They were just ten and eleven And almost seventeen She was barely thirty-five herself When I turned drunk and mean Someone said they seen 'em back Why would they come around But I thought I saw my baby On the other side of town Now the drunkard, he will go to lengths To justify his state But the truth is even one's too much When a hundred will not sate Like a wrecking ball slung through the lives Of all to whom he's bound Well, I thought I saw my baby On the other side of town Well, I thought if I could make amends And somehow get in touch But then I had to take a drink And it was all too much I drank the whole rest of the day I drank that bottle down 'Cause I thought I saw my baby On the other side of town It was Monday or Tuesday Or one of them damn days They keep comin' ever after Nothing changes, nothing stays Just a flickering in black and white An image with no sound And I think I see my baby On the other side of town
