I went to the clinic early this morning, to drop off my stool, no warning Winter's still dark, my sample in a matchbox, it's dawning I walk like a robot, so cold, I'm not rested, I'm yawning My mood's just so-so, on the wave of my sad themes I'm soaring The girl hasn't given it up for two weeks now, my stash, it's gone A dog bolts from the corner, some fool on a leash, he's drawn Four big coppers check IDs by the cash exchange, they're on Next to them, a blue fight, the day's startin' rough, it's dawn Suddenly, I see Mike crossing the road, a local lad, quite fond Mike smoked me like a peace pipe, then vanished, he's gone It hit me hard, but I kept on with my mission, moving on Walking, I think of the good times, like my first jump from a plane That trip to Egypt, recent and fresh in my brain Remembering Lucy's sweet deal in the elevator, no pain Those days when the booze flowed, I was the king of my domain I reached the clinic, waited my turn, gave my sample away Back home, had tea and sandwiches, took a break, okay Everything seems fine, but I need some weed today Let the carp in the pond live without their green buffet Made some calls, sorted things out, my rep's the key In an hour, it should come, thanks to my street pedigree They brought top-notch hydro, I've got grams, about ten Sitting here getting high, with angry rap, I'm zen What a great guy I am, for never listening to men Otherwise, I'd be: A nervous IT guy A slick salesman, a tenacious manager A dull web designer, a major shareholder A tiny shop owner, a trembling cult member A daft PR spinner, an advanced advertiser A sellout journo, a jolly interior designer The best instructor, a mediocre TV worker A decent methodologist, a bad agent A good dealer, a profound psychologist An expensive dietician, a balanced sociologist A meticulous lawyer, a viscous negotiator A criminal notary, an outrageous consultant A swift translator, a wise advisor A highlighted fashion designer, a tenacious banker A thoughtful antiquarian, an inconspicuous broker A glamorous photo editor, a scoundrel promoter A city architect, a perverted teacher A sadistic dentist, a skilled manager A successful publisher, an executive producer A corrupt official, a quiet trader A hysterical stylist, a general director A key investor, a smiling restaurateur A systems analyst, a shadow accountant
