I left my home some hours ago
I went to this little place that I know
The door was locked, but I'm a member,
I said I'd come here for the usual thing
But please remind me of the
and this is what he said to me
When you drink from this lonely fountain
of a microscopic thimble of tea
Just a little hard work and dedication
And it's a slick, operation
So if you're looking for advice
I'm glad you came to talk with me
I'll teach you how to fall
when things are going your way
I've got an address book of places
where you can go and hide away
I'll teach you how to dig deep
and find problems that are not really there
I'll teach you how to get down low
Cause you can always find trouble
And give the whole world a little distortion
You gotta pile it on thick
Just stay focused and don't look up
Keep on drinking from your half -filled cup
Stay away from the window
Don't go looking for a better deal
And you want the rain to stop falling
You can put a friendly hand
Pretend the world feels a little bit colder
You know the sky's not really blue
It's more of a livid shade of grey
I'll teach you how to feel
You can turn my neck into water
I'll teach you how to think of yourself
I know you've been there before
and you want a little more
You can always find trouble
I really don't know what I
Sometimes I guess you just feel like sinking
Oh, but here comes tomorrow
To remind me of the other way
