Early Riser It's a big old city With a city life Banged my head against the wall So many times Five dollars for the hopeful Ten for my thief Twenty two for little Peggy Sue Well, she got her hold on me I don't wanna die Like some other guy When he's been an early riser for you Don't wanna hear about her Or the game we were It takes time to think it over Makes you wanna k** The bad light comes around Laughing in front of the bathroom mirror Gets me so low down Feel like a problem
Feel like a smoker's cough Thumbing my way from town to town Try to shake it off I don't wanna die Like some other guy When he's been an early riser for you Don't wanna hear about her Or the game we were It takes time to think it over Vandalize my opinions It just ain't right Oh, you're such a pretty one Staying out all night Give me a little sunshine Let me see how it fits Never knew I needed some so bad Til I been without it I don't wanna die Like some other guy
