Will you tell me something hopeful

I really need to get away from the news

Will you sell me something wonderful

Whatever kicks these fucking blues

Can I tell you what I’m thinking

There’s something wrong with my mind

Don’t know if it’s all the drinking

Or the tally of these white lines

I just need something to grab on to

Just an ounce of something real

Something I can carry with me

No matter how I feel

Something to keep the flame alive

Something that’s never gonna’ die

Whatever keeps away that evil eye

Something to make me kiss the old ways goodbye

Whatever keeps away that evil eye

So please take the time with me

I may be slow but I’m willing to learn

And please forget about my disease

I’m a star that’s still waiting to burn

I just need something to grab on to

Just an ounce of something real

Something I can carry with me

No matter how I feel

Something to keep the flame alive

Something that’s never gonna’ die

Whatever keeps away that evil eye

Something to make me kiss the old ways goodbye

Whatever keeps away that evil eye
