nothing was going my way

went downtown

hoping to fool around

with a bottle of wine and a couple of smokes

found a joint where they told party jokes

but still felt blue

wondering what to think and what to do

but nothing seemed right

spent too many hours watching the night

turn into day

what else should i say?

nothing was going my way

people stood up and looked around

wondering how to stand their ground

and soul music played

but no one got excited and no one got laid

on the ground

the Salvation Army lost and found

little bits of this and some of that

collecting memories in an old top hat

no one can say if the winds will blow away

all the negative things that people say

and it's so quiet there's no other sound 

hoping to fool around

and soul music played

no one got excited and no one got laid

on the ground

the Salvation Army lost and found

little bits of this and some of that

collecting memories in an old top hat.
