The Unrecovered One — текст песни (The Roches)

Here I am I`m the unrecovered one
You can talk to me if you want to if you want to
you can shun me.

I stumble through the streets with my pride and my arrogance
I spit right in your face when you invite me to dance
I go months and years at a time terminally unique
With my pills and my bottle of wine
I am very very very very very very very very weak.

I can`t get out of bed the hangover`s got my head
So I forgot to take the garbage out and put the kid to bed
We`re all wandering around in my house
like the night of the living dead
I`m someone that you can look at and be glad
you`re not me instead.

Underneath your sobriety and your piety and your quiet
there`s a human being there who`s got a spirit and has to
learn how to fly it.

The controls are on the panel
and the manual`s in the flotation device. But if it comes to
using that you`ve already crashed through thin ice.

I`m not saying I`m better than you I feel like you`re saying
you`re better than me
You say "Tough luck I sobered up and now I`m running the
company"
Your Higher Power he`s like my God he`ll take you out in a
flash you`ll see
And do the same for all your loved ones and the ones like me
you pity.
