I wake up in the morning smoke a cigarette got a ton of stuff to do and I'm not even out of bed yet I make my breakfast, have some tea, brush my teeth and take out the trash put my clothes on, start the car, hook my seat belt and step on the gas I need a force of inspiration This life is not a free vacation On and on till the sweat pours down my face Just tell me, what's my saving grace? Every day's the same and still I hope for more my life feels pretty plain and every day is a chore I go through the motions, work my job, pay my taxes and also the rent. Still I wonder, 'cause my life is so empty, misfortunes and time misspent. I believe I'm havin' a reaction now all I want is satisfaction I've left the whole of the human race. I'll find my path to saving grace! I sleep right through the mornin' lay in bed till noon I'm in and out of snorin' soon I'll get out of my room I step in the shower, take my time, I say **** it and don't even shave. Smoke a fat one, eat some food, drink some tea and then watch some TV. Still I don't feel no satisfaction. What do I lack to make this happen? Is the answer staring in my face? What is the patch to saving grace? Well I met a girl this morning. She said, "My name is Rose..." My heart beat in my chest, and my mind froze. She just smiled, took my hand, took a pen and wrote her number down. She winked then, walked away and said, "Call and I'll see you around!" Now I just feel anticipation! Could she be the key to my salvation? Time has come and time I shall not waste. I've found my path to saving grace. Path to saving grace, path to saving grace!
