Tyin' The Noose

I ain't alright, it's not fine

But it could be worse

I ain't got time to sit and cry

Waiting for the hearse

My head's a wreck, heart's been bruised

Kidney's screaming from all the booze

Ain't dead yet, just tying the noose

Just tying the noose

Well my lover, she left me

With a dog that won't stop barking

So when the doorbell rings

It reminds us both of her

And it's easy to let go

If you're always on your tiptoes

One foot out the door

The others broke

I ain't alright, it's not fine

But it could be worse

I ain't got time to sit and cry

Waiting for the hearse

My head's a wreck, heart's been bruised

Kidney's screaming from all the booze

Ain't dead yet, just tying the noose

Just tying the noose

I had my first taste at fifteen

But comfort, it don't come cheap

Too broke to be an addict

Too afraid to deal

But now I say

"Hey Doc, you know I'm feeling down"

He says, "Take two, and it'll turn around"

I say, "I used to take these for fun"

I ain't no fortunate son

I ain't alright, it's not fine

But it could be worse

I ain't got time to sit and cry

Waiting for the hearse

My head's a wreck, heart's been bruised

Kidney's screaming from all the booze

Ain't dead yet, just tying the noose

Just tying the noose
