lyrics

I need another lover like I need another full time job
So I can forget what I found all those times I just up and took off.
I'd love a lover, but I can't take on one more job.

I need another lover like I need another hit on my tongue
Before reciting the eulogy at the funeral of my first son.
I'd love a lover, but I sure as hell don't want one.

I need another lover like I need a shot of dilaudid
Before driving my grandmother south from Eureka,
Down California One.
I'd love a lover but I sure as hell don't want one.

I need another lover like I need another smoke in my lungs
While I'm just trying to get through the day without coming undone
Its not that it helps, but it sure as hell hurts not to have one.
I'd love a lover, but I pray to the stars I don't find one.

Oh Lord, what's come of me that I'm hiding from love?
There's got to be a lot left to learn, and I'm bound to mess up.
Oh, let's just take this slow.
When we've gone too far at least there'll be some time left to know.

I need another lover like I need another hole in my arm
Living the first hand reason to write the song about losing the farm
I'd love a lover, but I don't want to cause any more harm.

I need another lover, like I need another drink before bed.
Brother, it takes one to know one,
And I think we might be better off dead.
I'd love a lover, but I'd best take my leave instead.
