Doctor My Eyes - Jackson Browne

Ain't these supposed to be my glory days? Late nights, and I can't even feel my face Hate going out, but you said it was just a phase I'm not sure that'll ever change Will it ever change? Red Bull and tequila keep me up right in the night When I should've kept my ass inside My friends wouldn't let me, they know I Most of the time I feel too much So I try not to feel at all Staring at the ceiling, I Staring at the writing on the wall Is there some type of Is there some typе of pill I could take That would make it all go away? Doctor, would you give mе something? Would you, would you? Doc, I'm only 20 something Would you, would you? I'm way too young to feel this numb, yeah Would you, would you? My eyes, I think they're already going 'Cause I don't see things too clearly Think I could use a little perspective from you I do 'Cause my mind's always racing And I've been trying to slow the pace with Red Bull and tequila keep me up right through the day When I should've kept my ass inside But I gotta work this nine to five Most of the time I feel too much So I try not to feel at all Staring at the ceiling, I Staring at the writing on the wall Is there some type of Is there some type of pill I could take That would make it all go away? Doctor, would you give me something? Would you, would you? Doc, I'm only 20 something Would you, would you? I'm way too young to feel this numb, yeah Would you, would you? I don't know, Khamari, you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself But I, I don't think it's too much that you can't handle It's just a matter of focusing on what you gotta do And sometimes you know, You just have to, just relax and go with the flow Things always have a way of working out, man Just focus on what you've got to do, and you know what I always say To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did You have to take time to live Tomorrow's not promised to anybody

You wait for the tears to fall but they won't You think you should know what to say but you don't Here at the break of day The world moving on it's way Without her You're sitting there staring at the distance Like you're putting up some kind of resistance But you barely see the dawn It's like this river that you're on Here where the sorrows flow And all you will never know about her Here You're here The city waiking up off in the distance They're all working on some other existence But you don'y quite seem to care It's like you know they're not going anywhere Here where the sorrows flow Here where the questions grow And all you will never know about her You wait for the tears to fall but they won't You think you should know what to say but you don't Here at the break of dawn The world moving on Without her

Down on the boulevard, they take it hard They look at life with such disregard They say it can't be won The way the game is run But if you choose to stay You wind up playing anyway It's okay And though the kids in shock up and down the block The folks are home playing beat the clock Down at the Golden Cup They set the young ones up Under the neon light Selling day for night It's alright Nobody rides for free (nobody, nobody) Nobody gets it like they want it to be (nobody, nobody) Nobody hands you any guarantee (nobody, nobody) Nobody No, nobody, baby The hearts are hard and the times are tough Down on the boulevard, the night's enough And time passes slow (and time passes slow) Between the store front shadows (between the store front shadows) And the streetlights glow Everybody walks right by Like they're safe or something They don't know Nobody knows you (nobody, nobody) Nobody owes you nothin' (nobody, nobody) Nobody shows you what they're thinking (nobody, nobody) Nobody, baby Hey, hey, baby Got to watch the street and keep your feet And be on guard Make it pay, baby It's only time on the boulevard It's like this And it is the way it is (on the boulevard) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby (on the boulevard) It's only time on the boulevard

There will be no consolation prize This time the bone is broken clean No baptism, no reprise And no sweet taste of victory All the stars have fallen from the sky And everything else in between Satellites have closed their eyes The moon has gone to sleep Unloved, unloved Unloved, unloved Here I am inside a hotel Choking on a million words I said Cigarettes have burned a hole And dreams are drunk and penniless Here I am inside my father's arms All jagged-bone and whiskey-dry Whisper to me sweetly now And tell me I will never die Unloved, unloved Unloved, unloved Here I am an empty hallway Broken window, rainy night I am nineteen sixty-two And I am ready for a fight People crying hallelujah While the bullet leaves the gun People falling, falling, falling And I don't know where they're falling from Are they Unloved, unloved Unloved, unloved Hoping that the kindness Will lead us past the blindness And not another living soul Will ever have to feel Unloved, unloved Unloved, unloved Unloved, unloved
