The one that asked too much

Hanging my legs over the bedspread
Trying not to think of the obvious
The fleeting images filling my mind
Over and over and over again

I can't get no relief
I must be the underdog again
I must be the underdog again

The bills keep piling up on the floor
But even money would not be the release
I want a new drug, they sing again
Over and over and over again

I can't get no relief
I must be the underdog again
I must be the underdog again

Thinking the way that I am not allowed happiness
But this is the way things have always been
I've always been the one left standing in the corner
While others dance the night away

I can't get no relief
I must be the underdog again
I must be the underdog again

The morning kettle boils for just me
Never nobody to share my day
The cold floor chilling my bare feet
Competing with the coldness inside me

I can't get no relief
I must be the underdog again
I must be the underdog again

The last leaves fall in the winter frost
Fractal patterns filling my kitchen window
The crackling sounds of electric trains
Alone in this cold and empty world

I can't get no relief
I must be the underdog again
I must be the underdog again

Hoping someone would learn to love me
And to see me as I am
Small words and simple wishes
That's all I can ask for

I can't get no relief
I must be the underdog again
I must be the underdog again

Fleeting moments passing in a blur
The vision slowly begins to dim
And as I exit in a dizzying embrace
It's all going to finally end

I'm given relief
But still, I'm the underdog again
I'm still the underdog... again
