I was checked in by 4, put the sign on the door Looked out the window of the 17th floor Talked to the city that knows me by name, and all the bad things i do. I shed 5 bitter tears, into 5 bitter beers Looked at my watch and said, "where have the years gone? i'm wasting away like a castle of clay, that's slowly crumbling in two." (chorus) Every monday, i get this pain Every wednesday, it hits my brain Every friday i die, cuz everyday I still think of you I was f**ed up by 5, talking nothing but jive Told the bartender he'd never take me alive All of this because my favorite show was cancelled last night on tv So i called up marie, she'd have s** for free But for ten bucks an hour, she'd listen to me Talk about rockstars and models on dope, and how i can't cope with this scene (chorus)
