New Day Rising

Swingin Utters

"I was only laughing out loud" I say

"When anybody else would've done the same"

I could always shut my mouth again

But it'd still come out that way again

and again



Well I'm going to the hills now baby

Goin' out to the city building

Gonna sleep in the dirty alleys

Where the air is fresh

With the new day rising



You keep knocking on the door

But they don't answer anymore

Oh you know it aint your fault my dear

it's just that bad luck time of year



There's no use talking about the weather

And since that's all that's on my mind

Well then whatever

I don't have the time to waste my energy on lying

So babe I'll see you later



"I'd die with one less cocktail babe

It keeps me from feeling naked and ashamed

Oh I'd love to tell you stories old and new

True and false but I'd best be on my way"
