Rain's been falling for days now, and the cold is closing in. No clean shirts in the closet, and the hair is growing thin. The coffee's cold in the morning, and the beer's warm at night. No good news in the paper, yeah, the world's a sorry sight. Cheer up, old pal, there's so much more to life than this. Turn on the lights, try to forget the things you miss. No whisky breaking the ice now, and no vodka in the c**e. The pile of bills it keeps rising, well, it's just a g****** joke. Try to cry without laughing, still it's hard to break a smile. Waking up every morning, wond'ring if it's all worthwile. Cheer up, old pal, there's so much more to life than this. Turn on the lights, try to forget the things you miss.
