Evening Pines - Supply & demand

They say that life is just an illusion
But what is the world if not someone's confusion?

Dip my mouth in the water to take a taste
I get the feeling we're swimming in our own waste

I'm not wasted all off the time
But when I am it seems to be a crime
I'm not young enough to cry about it
Been locked up too much to be shy about it

There are people that I can't stand
There are nights when I'm in command
I'm in supply but I'm not in demand
I'm in supply but I'm not in demand

Every night I go to bed with hope
Each morning wake in despair, like I've been hitting the ropes
I'm a chronic day sleeper and I just don't care
It takes a while to get me from here to there

Long day's journey into the night
Sometimes I feel, as if I never might

There are people that I can't stand
There are nights when I'm in command
I'm in supply but I'm not in demand
I'm in supply but I'm not in demand
I'm in supply but I'm not in demand

I've got ten cents in my pocket and I smoke too much
But I traded the Monte Carlo, I'm driving a clutch
I'm gonna speed real fast to that slow state line
I'm looking for a place, but the destination's a time
Because there's a woman that I once knew
In her pictures she reminds me of you

Once more I'd like to take her hand
She's not in supply but she is in demand
She's not in supply but she is in demand
She's not in supply but she is in demand
