Old ballet shoes tossed in the corner I put my cigarette out on the floor Same old broken down face in the mirror And fist sized hole in the door If only I could see past myself These ankles keep twisting in vain And the older I get the more things I let be to blame Same old god, same old prayer I keep repeating myself but I'm not getting anywhere There's that old letter you wrote me You said you wanted to be a star Same old broken down car in the driveway I guess we didn't get too far If only I could see past myself These keys they keep turning in vain And the older I get the more things I let be to blame Same old god, same old prayer I keep repeating myself but I'm not getting anywhere If only I keep talking to that same old god
