Yesterday, I turned twenty-three
The date didn't mean that much to me
Then I started adding figures up in my head
It seems the cost of dreaming's left me in the red
Because of alcohol

I've shared sixteen beds

There's a five year reunion

Hanging over my head



At least eleven thousand people

Think I'm somethin' I'm not

And the courage to let them down

Isn't something I've still got



Sometimes I wanna cheat, but I don't

I wanna quit, but I won't...cause I made this bed...

(Give me a shovel, you'll be amazed

At how fast I dig a grave, baby, just to lay in it)



You're only brave 'til you're scared...

You're only unique until compared...

To every other worthless fuck tryin' to

(Crawl into bed tonight...)



You can't afford to live like...this...

(Yes, we can! Yes, we can!)

You can't be dumb enough to dream so...big...

(Yes, we can! Yes, we can!)



Yeah, we'll sail through the sleazy seas

Past all the casting couches, rug-burned knees

No, I'm not done yet...

No-no, I'm only getting started...



You can't afford to live like this

You can't be dumb enough to dream so big



Yeah, we'll sail through the sleazy seas

Past all the casting couches, rug-burned knees

No, I'm not done yet...



You can't afford to live like...this...

(Yes, we can! Yes, we can!)

You can't be dumb enough to dream so...big...

(Yes, we can! Yes, we can!)



Yeah, we'll sail through the sleazy seas

Past all the casting couches, rug-burned knees

No, I'm not done yet...

No-no, I'm only getting started...
