nine one one Blues
music & lyrics by S. Seskin copyright 2001

Another day, another drill
Another born, another killed
Another drink, another bong
Motivation's been long gone
Again a shock, but I am numb
Again a lesson, but I'm dumb
Again to bed, again to sleep
And when I wake up, I'm still weak

'Cause I've been drained 'til I feel physical pain
Can't find drive in anything but my ride
I got the why-am-I-living-where-am-I-going-who-am-I-anyway-what's-it-all-mean blues

From scattered drops, to thunderstorms
From steel brick walls to free falls
From tarnished bonds to boundless gulfs
From question marks to loathing hearts
Another game, a losing streak
Another claim, a truth to seek
Another ill, a feel good pill
Another crock, a ticking clock

Oh, I've been drained 'til I feel physical pain
Can't find drive in anything but my ride
The only juice I have is in my refrigerator
Why do it now when they're might not be no later
I got the why-am-I-living-where-am-I-going-who-am-I-anyway-what's-it-all-mean blues

Because I tried, because I'm tired
'Cause I feel old, because it's cold
Because the times, because the hate
Because the world - it's too late

The only juice I have is in my refrigerator
Why do it now when I'd prefer to not see later
My joie de vivre got lost in translation
My Little Engine That Could is stuck in the station
Can't make the twelfth hour, twelfth step, twelfth day
Can't someone help me chase these blues away?
