I'm on a bus, I'm in a rush
I would catch a cab, but I'm not that fussed
Another day, another dime
I know some might say, that I'm wasting time
And then at night, another fight
And I don't know what it means but I'd never cause a scene
I'm gonna make today sugar-coated
I'm gonna get so high I'm lying here on the floor
It's time these shoes of mine were fully loaded
It's time to sit back and smile
I've had a smoke and it's been a while
It's been a while
Hello dawn, it's good to be
Did I pay for the girl lying next to me?
I had a love, but little luck
I don't bleed any more cause my heart's been crushed
And now I'm free - lucky me
And my girlfriend was a bore, she don't love me anymore
I'm gonna make today sugar-coated
I'm gonna get so high I'm lying here on the floor
It's time these shoes of mine were fully loaded
It's time to sit back and smile
I've had a smoke and it's been a while
It's been a while
A little hush, a little rush
I guess now we'll see, if I'm big enough
Finally, it's only me
Things will never be the same, there's no living life again
I'm gonna make today sugar-coated
I'm gonna get so high I'm lying here on the floor
It's time these shoes of mine were fully loaded
It's time to sit back and smile
I've had a smoke and it's been a while
It's been a while
I'm gonna make today sugar-coated
I'm gonna get so high I'm lying here on the floor
It's time these shoes of mine were fully loaded
It's time to sit back and smile
I've had a smoke and it's been a while
It's been a while
