Lyrics

Fridge is empty
Nothing but a rotting apple and some sad looking pie
Lucky me

Once had plenty
Funny how the world can toss you in the blink of an eye
My destiny

It's such a long way back
When you have gone off track and lost your way

Out the window
People going 'bout their business like nothing is wrong
Sunny day

Watch the wind blow
Take a long siesta, listen to some Orbison songs
My shade is grey

It's such a long way back
Once you have gone off track and lost your way

Refrain
Welcome to my new life, peaches and cream
Welcome to my new life, living the dream

Couldn't take it
Couldn't stand the pressure. What she wanted I couldn't be
Not my style

Couldn't shake it
Shake the feeling I'd be happier if it was just me
Missed by a mile

(Instrumental verse)

Refrain

I tell myself that it's all over now
Who am I fooling anyhow?

Cell is ringing
Let it take a message. Nowadays I do that a lot
No reply

Feel the stinging
Every time she says to come home I get tied in a knot
My alibi

It's such a long way back
Once you have gone off track and lost your way

Refrain (2x)

wow, this is memorable and really engaging- love the whole vibe of the piece, reminds me of harry nillson, perhaps-- that kind of old-school thing that's hard to pin down but feels so right! great work!
