the earth went spinning round the sun today
a little faster than it did yesterday
still i insist to ignore
the steady pace of the passing days
and i run my spirit down
got no money in my bank account
rent is due and i just ran out
still i insist to ignore
how checks and change seem to dissipate
and i run my spirit down
but when the worst bursts on us like a cloud of rain
and when it hurts and there's no one there to take the blame
and debts are due and we've no idea how we're gonna pay
the clouds will part and we'll see the sky again
the home team's losing and i don't know why
they never win, no, but they always try
still i insist to ignore
it's only time before the loss is mine
and i run my spirit down
