Day Late and a Dollar Short

Once I tried to eat myself alive I wanted to know what I was like inside In the morning every day of my life Face in my mirror seems so surprised And I dance by the light of the silvery moon Day late and a dollar short That's what my momma said Wild dreams and empty thoughts Going through your head Once I tried to set myself on fire I was burning with desire Voice of reason whispers in my ear I see the light but I cannot hear Naked dancers chanting in the night Day late and a dollar short Never was and I never will Be what you're gonna be A day late and a dollar short It's what my momma said Wild dreams and empty thoughts Going through your head Day late and a dollar short Dream on, dream on you're dreamin' Day late and a dollar short Momma said get back to your bed Day late and a dollar short It's what she said to me
