Mary Jane

How many times do I need to fix myself?
Learn another trick from my better half
She knows, she knows
That I try to look at things in a different light
And yet I don’t ever seem to do it right
I know, I know
That I drink too much and I eat too much
Everybody says I don’t sleep enough
And yet I don’t get to see
The sunlight in the morning
Right now, I don’t need the money
It’s all in the game
And yes, I could have a job
But it’s not the same
And boy, I’m tying
But nothing’s ever good enough
So come on, sweet Mary Jane
Crawl into my head and relieve the pain
My cigarettes don’t taste as good as you
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane
I’m gonna make it big someday
I’ll wake up with my pockets full of gold
I make up the rules as I move, as I do my thing
Surprise, surprise, what the evening brings
You know
Education has never done the trick for me
But I’ve got a A in toxicology
I still got a million things that I could be
Tomorrow
I know that I drink too much and I eat too much
And that everybody says I don’t sleep enough
But why would I need to see
The sunlight in the morning?
Right now, I don’t have the money
But papa’s got a lot
And he don’t mind
Giving me some of what he’s got
'Cause he knows I’m trying
But nothing’s ever good enough
