[Verse 1]
            
It was a graci

              
ous old sunshi

  
ne
           
But it was was

ted on me
            
I was plastere

              
d and counting

              
 the cop cars 

  
out
            
Right in front

      
 of me
              
I was a troubl

              
esome young ki

 
d
        
I was a big pi

ece of shit
            
But I'm hoping

              
 that them day

              
s in the hospi

  
ce
            
Atoned for som

       
e of it


[Chorus]
              
If the whole t

         
hing was fair
            
It would be me

              
 that was figh

   
ting for air
              
But it's you i

      
n the bed
              
And it's so ro

            
utine that it 

              
just threw me 


I guess
              
But in the cos

        
mic ballet
              
You can't just

            
 do what you f

         
ucked up again
              
And the world 

              
is not done wi

      
th me yet


[Verse 2]
              
Was in a dulci

        
mer mood
           
Around the fou

rth day of Jun

e
            
I accounted fo

              
r the miles of

              
 attention tha

   
t I got
            
But never want

          
 nor choose
              
And on the day

            
, when I left
            
When I said I'

              
d be back, I a

 
m sorry

And your face when you saw me
          
It was fate wo

              
rse than death


[Chorus]
              
I just wish th

          
at I'd said
            
Something more

              
 than I'd be b

      
ack in ten
              
But if I went 

         
there in time
            
I'd take a sec

              
ond to go and 

         
kiss you goodb

ye
              
So I'll stay b

        
y the bed
            
And be some re

              
spite for you 

      
'til the end
              
And the world 

              
is not done wi

    
th me yet


[Refrain]
         
Rise and rise,

            
 you great old

 
 thing
  
Mm, mm
         
Rise and rise 

          
and shine over

   
 me


[Bridge]
            
All that I wan

            
ted was someth

            
ing to save me
            
And the carniv

              
al's over, the

            
 ashtrays are 

    
empty
            
It's hardly a 

            
place I can lo

              
ok to for safe

 
ty



[Verse 3]
              
Was a high, ho

         
ly weekend
            
The ones you g

             
et shit for fr

          
ee at the coun

ter
              
And I'm crying

          
 alone now
              
'Cause I didn'

            
t want them to

   
 see
              
I fell asleep 

             
in the bathtub
           
But I woke up 

in the street
            
I'm a bastion 

            
of the unwante

         
d attention
              
That I couldn'

        
t wait to leav

e


[Chorus]
              
And if the who

           
le thing was f

  
air
            
It would be me

              
 that was figh

     
ting for air
              
It made sense 


in my head
              
But I'm still 

              
the asshole do

        
wn here noneth

eless
              
In the comedow

      
n affray
            
Came to fix wh

            
at I fucked up

 today

'Cause the world is not done with me
