"Tyin' The Noose" lyrics

I ain't alright, it's not fine
But it could be worse
I ain't got time to sit and cry
Waiting for the hearse
My head's a wreck, heart's been bruised
Kidney's screaming from all the booze
Ain't dead yet, just tying the noose
Just tying the noose

Well my lover, she left me
With a dog that won't stop barking
So when the doorbell rings
It reminds us both of her
And it's easy to let go
If you're always on your tiptoes
One foot out the door
The others broke

I ain't alright, it's not fine
But it could be worse
I ain't got time to sit and cry
Waiting for the hearse
My head's a wreck, heart's been bruised
Kidney's screaming from all the booze
Ain't dead yet, just tying the noose
Just tying the noose

I had my first taste at fifteen
But comfort, it don't come cheap
Too broke to be an addict
Too afraid to deal

But now I say
"Hey Doc, you know I'm feeling down"
He says, "Take two, and it'll turn around"
I say, "I used to take these for fun"
I ain't no fortunate son

I ain't alright, it's not fine
But it could be worse
I ain't got time to sit and cry
Waiting for the hearse
My head's a wreck, heart's been bruised
Kidney's screaming from all the booze
Ain't dead yet, just tying the noose
Just tying the noose
