lights are on (no one is home)

On the couch again Thinkin bout my late friend Gonna get up and go outside There ain't no stars tonight I'm gonna make up mine Pack it tight and start the fire Smokin' my life away Ain't got much in my brain Just an empty pack of smokes The mailman's knockin' and the dog is barkin' The lights are on but no one is home In the tub again Listening to the dead Lord i think I'm gonna drown My life's gone down the drain I think i know what'll ease my pain I think i'll burn one down Smokin my life away Ain't much in my brain Just a black cat in a broken mirror My dads a callin and my moms a squalin The lights are on but no one is home It's 2 AM again Contemplating bout the end Should i paint this wall with my thoughts Wake up at 8 am Gotta go to work again Time to freeze my ass off Smokin' my life away Ain't got much in my brain Just a monkey wearin' my clothes I gotta clock in and my cars not startin' The lights are on but no one is home
