thirsty merc - build a bridge (live - mousetrap heart) lyrics
[verse 1]
munching on a ham and cheese sando in the morning on friday
cruising down the pacific highway
thinkin’ ’bout the day ahead
i paid the rent cheque, got my registration and phone bill
if those two don’t overthrow me the dogs will
but heck, at least i know the taste of bread
why do i seem to spend my whole d+mn life chasing paper?
i’m like an actor+turned+singer+turned+waiter
i’ll wait around until i meet with my maker
then i’ll sign up for aa or something
[pre+chorus]
i just wish there was some other way to get myself somewhere
this little strip of еarth and all that i’ve done therе
i’m like a bull ant on the leg of the sunchair
under a magnifying glass
[chorus]
i wish somebody would build a bridge
so i could get over myself
on my own i’m wasting my time
[verse 2]
i take a phone call on the mobile while i’m checkin’ the meter
one sec, i need to turn up that little speaker
it’s getting noisy in this little town
we’re like america, we love to make a hoo out of jack sh+t
i never ever really seemed to fit
but now i’m stuck so deep in all of this
come to think of it i might as well be travelling backwards
it’s been an hour and i’m only in chatswood
i hate the way that i’m becoming a product
go pick me up for $24.95
[pre+chorus]
i’m on sale and it’s retail in the world of deception
you can treat a man if he can’t get erections
is there a pill for my lack of direction?
thanks mate, i’ll have a pack of those
[chorus]
i wish somebody would build a bridge
so i could get over myself
on my own i’m wasting my time
i wish somebody would build a bridge
so i could get over myself
on my own i’m losing my mind
alright!
[guitar solo]
[verse 3]
it’s all good, i got a broom and a cheap persian rug now
i can sweep the whole thing outta my sight now
outta sight, outta mind
i’ll keep on going until i’m pushing 30 or 40
and as long as i don’t do something naughty
i love my wife, what a life
[bridge]
she comes home to find me spread on the floor from blood poisoning
i’ve popped a whole lot of pills and i’m shaking
and there’s a needle stickin’ out of my f+ckin’ arm, i’m shakin’, i’m zoning in and zoning out
you wanna help me, don’t call me an ambulance, honey
just get a silver service cab, this is funny
just one passenger, please, going up my own ass
do you take credit card? f+ck this!
[chorus]
i wish somebody would build a bridge
so i could get over myself
on my own i’m wasting my time, yeah
i wish somebody would build a bridge
so i could get over myself
on my own i’m losing my mind
i wish somebody would build a bridge
so i could get over myself
on my own i’m wasting my life (there ain’t nothin’ i can do about it)
i wish somebody would build a bridge
so i could get over myself
on my own i’m++ alright
