Mark Sandman - Scratch lyrics

I was once sitting on top of the world I really had things in my hand But something went wrong I'm not sure what And now I'm sitting here at home alone People they want to give you free advice Well that's something that I always try But you get what you pay for that's what I say And now I'm paying and paying and paying I lost everything I had I'm starting over from scratch I lost everything I had I'm starting over from scratch Everything I wanted cooking on the stove Everything I needed right in the home I had the best thing you can have You can have it, you can have it now I lost everything I had I'm starting over from scratch I lost everything I had I'm starting over from scratch It's just a fact (?) Wiped that smile off my face Put me down in my proper place But the world just keeps on spinning around And I'm still hanging around in this world I lost everything I had I'm starting over from scratch I lost everything I had I'm starting over from scratch
