Phoebe Snow - Isn't It a Shame lyrics

Isn't it a shame Not to have something to believe in? To have to cry in public places Frightened by children making faces Travel folders call you So do your memories But the statistics seem to stall you And they whisper "it's a tease" The moon has coated me with dust I must look a sight I left my mind out in the rain So please don't be polite Can you help me? Can you help me? Later on tonight Can you help me? Can you help me? At least until it's light Tonight I won't be drinking I'll love you anyway-ay-ay-ay I will be very busy thinking I can still come out and play It's more than medication It is all that's on the shelf The simple fact that I'm alive and well And I'm laughing at myself My casual friends were casualties My foes were just faux pas But I still have that second chance And I'm waiting on the goal Look at us poor souls down here Tryin' to turn an honest gig Every second season seems We think we're tired or sick Can you help us? Can you help us? Something's got to give Can you help me? Can you help me? To sing another lick
