I was pretty popular today No one really had a lot to say The hallway frantic footsteps still remind me Those footsteps turn to tiptoe when they find me It's harder than you'd think To look me in the eyes Your heart's in the right place But your head, it still denies And you don't need to say a thing 'Cause we've shared some common ground It's enough that you came to see that I'm still the same man going down A good friend brought some beer in yesterday Got a good buzz on until the buzzk** with the clipboard comes He says, my insides, well the damage would astound me I laughed, at least it left the outsides as it found me It's harder than you'd think To look me in the eyes Your heart's in the right place But your head, it still denies And you don't need to say a thing 'Cause we have shared some common ground It's enough that you came to be here with Another good man going down Now wait a minute There's a photograph and I'm still in it It's life support You whip it out and say: "He used to be... "He used to do... "He used to say..." It's harder than you'd think Like cold, December ground That's covered by the snow That's babtizing this town And you don't need to say a thing As they lay me in the ground Once in awhile you could raise a gla** for me Another good man going down I was pretty popular today I was pretty popular today
