How Could I?

You broke another nail

That's too bad for the soul

What to do besides go read

A magazine and smoke

How could I ask for more?

Everything's the same

I woke up on the floor

Yesterday I got a job

Down at the liquor store

How could I ask for more?

But you want more

So here you go

Another page

For your notebook

Force a smile

Yeah life is good

How could I?

Once I stood too tall

I twice fell to the floor

Three or four times

I just could not answer at the door

How Could I ask for more?

Go buy yourself some clothes

Now you don't feel lost

The hangers in your closet
