Days Go By
When you light that funny cigarette
Would you pass it back to me
I`m feeling a little down and out
And it`ll keep me company
I`m just a long lost sinner
Living life here on the line
I`ll give it right back to you
I know it`s not really mine
Now don`t put it out, not right yet
It`s burning pretty good
Maybe I`ll have one more toke
You think I should
OO-oo, days go by
I just sit around and get real high
OO-oo, what a glow
I just hang out, they come and go
Hey, the walls are starting to move
The floor is way down there
What a buzz it is
There`s electricity in the air
Boy, I`m feeling really gone
I`m feeling really cool
I think I`ll have another one
I`m just another fool
You know they say it`s illegal
But what isn`t these days
No matter what you do
There`ll be somebody on your case
OO-oo, days go by
It just seems like I sit around and get high
OO-oo, shame on me
They`re going to put me in a penitentiary
I must not be together
Look at the shape I`m in
I just know people are saying
"He`s looking awful thin"
I guess I can count my blessings
Though I`ve always been this way
I guess I`ll quit tomorrow
Maybe another day
OO-oo, days go by
I guess I`ll sit around and get real high
You know time has no absolute
It`s a just seems like it`s spent
Everything has a tendency to be so warped and bent
While looking here and there
I`m surprised to see
Everybody`s gone here
Everybody`s gone but me
OO-oo, days go by
I just sit around and get real high
OO-oo, what a glow
I just hang out, they come and go
Days Go By
