Starting Out                                        C. von Sneidern

In the dead of the night give us a little light
My habit's holding me down
I'm nearly coming around, around

Feel nice, I'm starting out with nothing better to lose
Feel nice, but I'm selling out the future still left to choose

I got a piece of the rock
they know my steps by the clock
The take is less than we give
Our picture now negative, the way we live

Feel nice, I'm starting out with nothing better to lose
Feel nice, but I'm selling out the future still left to choose-

What will it matter if you won't stay around
Don't let us down
We hurt no one and make no sound

-solo-

If silence seems to annoy
No words describe my new joy
I sold my stake for the grave
'cause getting high makes me brave, under a wave

Feel nice, I'm starting out with nothing better to lose
Feel nice, but I'm selling out the future still left to choose
