Another dreary day, up before the sun wakes Dark clouds in the sky and the rain’s making miniature lakes I can’t stand to be here…but I don’t want to be gone I’ll unchain my bike and I’ll ride toward dawn Cold wind blowing the tears from my eyes As they mix with the rain coming down I’m just a pretty face in a blind man’s world And I’m being strangled… I’ll stay home tonight…going out feels like abuse I’ll ponder myself, living like an unwilling recluse The beard on my chin is a clue to the mood in my heart Tied up, sad and lonely, looking for a fresh start Cold wind blowing the tears from my eyes As they mix with the rain coming down I’m just a pretty face in a blind man’s world And I’m being strangled by the chains of this town The people in my house, they all look foreign to me They act like we’ve met, but I…I’ve gotta disagree So I slink off into the corner and I strum my guitar I sing this song of love and I dream of being far away

And through it all Us mere mortals carry on By the whims of the world And through it all Us mere mortals soldier on By the whims of the world
