John Lenio - Facts and Figures

No, not tonight
Oh, maybe just one more
A couple, a few
'Til they're throwing me out when they close
I'd just like to say I was right
But, like my old man said
Being right won't un-break your nose

And I needed seven stitches in my face
For some it's a leisurely ride, but for me it's always been a race
And I needed something to warm up my bones
But somehow by the end of the night I'm still as cold as the churchyard stones

I haven't lost my soul
Just left it home in the dresser
Ain't been back in forever you know
I haven't lost my mind
It's just been some time since I've been able
To keep these facts and figures in line

It's not like I'm running my mouth
It's more like my mouth runs me
or more like it's driving
and I'm in the passenger seat
It's only inches I gave
But now those inches make feet
Hours make days
and I've been going on like this for weeks

And lately I can't chew on the left side
But I can still dry swallow pills and keep limping towards the line
Yeah, lately I just keep going out of spite
Any coward could claim he was pious
When he's facing the blackness of night

I haven't lost my soul
Just left it home in the dresser
Ain't been back in forever you know
I haven't lost my mind
It's just been some time since I've been able
To keep these facts and figures in line

I played that stupid game
And I got the stupid prize
I got the ringing ears
And I got those blurry eyes

I haven't lost my soul
Just left it home in the dresser
Ain't been back in forever you know
I haven't lost my mind
It's just been some time since I've been able
To keep these facts and figures in line
