Heard At Last
I've been going down the way
That I've gone down before
I'll get drunk or I'll get lost
Just to keep from getting bored
I've got to wonder
When is my life really going to change
Tomorrow isn't soon enough
I'd rather it were today
I just sit here in this room
With an ashtray and a mic
Trying to record the perfect sounds
But to me they all sound perfectly alike
When no one listens, you sing to the microphone
When no one remembers, you sing to the tape
And maybe someday some lonely person
Will accidentally hit play
And we'll be heard at last
And we'll be heard at last
And we'll be heard at last
