I’m lying in the road with my head in a hole
I’m looking down there for a sugar lode
I got a mighty bad time and my moto is low
The juice has run out and nobody knows
But all I want is a world of drinking
With no beginning and no real ending
So I throw myself into the LA River
Which is my idea of holy water
I’ll hold my tongue for tomorrow’s flavor
But save my bile for one worthwhile
And I’m still looking for my bright new future
You fall off a horse, you gotta go back
Tie her right up and put on the tack
Rub on her belly then take her out to the track
‘Cause you never can tell what the pony pack
All I want is the kind of ride
That comes tomorrow and lasts forever
And to bring her home on the final furlong
My desperation all forgiven
And though I don’t think my star is rising
I know my comet is just arriving
And I’m still looking for my bright new future
I hold on for something new
If I hold on the future too is mine
All I want is a world forever
That comes this minute with no real limit
So I throw myself into the nearest ocean
Which is my idea of true salvation
I’ll put my faith in a gut-shot straight
And save my prayer for when I dare
And I’m still looking for my bright new future
