Bob Mould - First Drag Of The Day Lyrics
Dont make me do it, dont make me sell the things I loveTheres too much happening in this worldDont choose the other side right awayIts been left alone for a whileIf I can get to the words before that first smokeEverything seems to come out differentlyLeaving a large hole in my hipIve never tried to quitHere I go with the first drag of the daySometimes it makes me fall backwards on back into bedDont stop me, dont correct mePlease dont interfere with meIm trying to write as fast as I canYesterday wasnt so badI thought it a little worse than it wasI dont know why I tried to sabotage my dayI wanted everything my own wayI wanted it all my own way, so dont apologizeI learn to devise these ways of explaining awayHappenstance, you dont let me take a standAnd it sits inside on the great white picket fence deep insideSomeday that fence is going to fall in your yardAnd I hope you didnt plant anything too precious too close to the boundaryIts starting to sound like its time to sign offBut for once, I feel like something might have happenedMaybe I cant show this to youMaybe I cant show you everythingSome things have to be precious and pureSome things have to stay inside of meOr else Ive given everything awayI wanted it all this wayI learn to devise these ways of explaining awaySo dont blame me, I wont blame youIts just the first drag of the day
