Man, I tried

Man, I tried goin' back
to drinkn' and smokin'-

Pukin', paranoia
coughin', craziness

Wonderin' what happened
last night

Yeah,
all the good times were still there

At two years of relentless effort
I chose to face the fact

I'm not the same person I was when I stopped
way back when

The world
really ain't changed

Still war, greed, murder-
wacked out as it ever was

It's my way of dancin' with the dementia-
that's what has grown, evolved

Once a snake crawls out of the old skin
he don't fit back in

He don't even try
it on
ag'in


I can take a lesson from this



Now- about these legs...
