lyrics

I just wanna beat this cold
Every day I wake up feeling old
Cough it up and swallow down this soft-knock life
Do I really think I have it tough?
12 hour days are more than enough
How can I complain when I've a car, a roof and a loving wife?

Spilled coffee on my brand new suit
Wristwatch lost down the laundry chute
I'll go buy another one with a diving gauge that I'll never use
Blakey boy is in trouble at school
Principal thinks he's a straight-up fool
Don't they know I've killed my dreams just to put this kid in black leather shoes?

Honey please, hand me the keys
I'm sick of paying government's goddamn fees
Take good care of our little boy Blake
I'm going for a drive into Michigan Lake

When they find the car upstate
Bobby Dick'll run the number plate
Narrow down the search for me between Kenosha and Milwaukee
In my pocket there's a small toy gun
They'll find my body up in Sheboygan
Drag it from the water when I float to shore at the dockland quay

Honey please, hand me the keys
I'm sick of all the caviar and blue-vein cheese
Don't mind me while I take a short break
I'll be at the bottom of Michigan Lake

Years later there'll be footage found
of a dime-store stickup in Madison town
I'm wearing that shirt I wore on our 5th anniversary
Old fox behind the counter had game
Shot me in the leg, yes she had good aim
I had nothing else to lose but a bit of blood from my weakling knee

Honey please, hand me the keys
I'm sick of holding back 'cause I'm truly sleaze
Why did you marry such a stupid flake?
I'm meeting with my friends under Michigan Lake

Spent the money on booze and blow,
Tried to OD up in Muskego
Woke up feeling worse than dead wishing that my gun was
more than real
Drove over to the Lake Express, really didn't think I'd wanna re-assess
Pedal to the floor, and then I saw the blue through the steering wheel
