Weak DAy

Got a house on my back        

pushing me over         

making me weak on my feet  

 

And a head on my shoulders 

makes me uneasy       

making me dizzy for weeks   

 

You got me on a weak day     

you got me on a bad time to talk.

A screw loose and rolling       

into a pile in the corner          

I thought I should warn you  

 

I got a shark at my ankles      

hung by a tightrope    

I’m scrappy/unhappy again  

 

And that I’ll never last like this         

it makes me too tired 

I’m loaded on vodka, two straws and soda   

 

You got me on a weak day     

you got me on a bad time to talk       

but you got me on a weak day           

you got me at the worst time of all    

 

I’m on over    

filled up and far gone 

I tried to warn you,    

but that’s not my job 

’cause somebody took me down       

from on the top shelf 

it couldn’t get worse I say to myself 

and I’ve got my head screwed on so tight it hurts     

sometimes it don’t work        

so I got the prescription        

to take the time off    

make it unravel           

go out and travel for days      

bring back my stories 

stopping your worries           

I’m trying to keep them at bay          

 

You got me on a weak day     

it’s such a bad time to talk     

you caught me on a weak day

you got me at the worst time of all    

 

Get me when I’m soft

and my shoes falling off, and 

I’ll make my way back again 

 

But you got me on a weak day          

you got me at the worst time of all    

I’m not feelin’ well    

I’m cracked like a bell

I’m shot like a shell to pieces.
