Mott The Hoople

(Ian Hunter)

There goes happiness
Down that stream
Pick me up, put me down again
Just when I was on my feet

I get stoned every day
My best friends, they both went away
It's a debt
And I've got to face it alone

Been a long long time now
Been a long time high
Making up promises that went
While I'm in the sky

Ain’t a clue, not a trace
I see her all over my face
It's a debt
I've got to face it alone

And in my sleep, my troubled mind
Won't let go leave the past behind
It's a drag, so it seems
I must live my life in dreams
I must laugh while the other man weans

Guess it's the season
Brings a man down
All my fingers are stuck on my toes
And my feet are off the ground
Yesterday the world went away
I can't seem to find the strength to play
It's a debt
I've got to face it alone

And in my sleep my troubled mind
Won't let go leave the past behind
It's a drag, so it seems
I must live my life in dreams
I must laugh while the other man weans

Guess it's the season
Brings a man down
All my fingers are stuck on my toes
And my feet are off the ground
Yesterday the world went away
I can't seem to find the strength to play
It's a debt
I've got to face it alone
It's a debt
I've got to face it alone
