Dead End Job - Jeremy Messersmith

Trying hard to stay awake

Over time without a break

I’ll catch the night bus home

You won’t have to sleep alone

I wear this crisp white shirt for you

I work this dead end job for you

My guitar’s out in the shed

But I will stumble into bed

Time will break these hands

Two kids, one minivan

I bought that diamond ring for you

I’d buy anything for you

From the dark side of the street

I hung around to watch him leave

I watched him kiss your neck

So soft and violent

But I won’t say a word to you

I would lose my pride for you

I’d lose everything for you
