i was face down on the sidewalk with a head full of cement i found my wallet missing dunno where my wristwatch went last thing i remember i was trying to make a point with a lumberjack who was twice my size he threw me out of that joint don't know how i got here but i know that i'm in deep that's what happens when you're looking for action on twenty minutes sleep i got my shit together and i hit another bar when i staggered outta that one i got hit by a police car the cop said what's your problem son do we need to haul you in? i said no sir thanks it's quite all right all we need's a fifth of gin don't know how i got here but i know that i'm in deep that's what happens when you're looking for action on twenty minutes sleep i carried on down main street in a rush to make last call i found a dive called the cul de sac i thought let's go have a ball they said we don't serve your kind i said yeah what kind is that? the bouncer said lemme demonstrate and proceeded to knock me flat don't know how i got here but i know that i'm in deep that's what happens when you're looking for action on twenty minutes sleep
this story is really good. I am enjoying the series.
"twenty minutes sleep"
i was face down on the sidewalk
with a head full of cement
i found my wallet missing
dunno where my wristwatch went
last thing i remember
i was trying to make a point
with a lumberjack who was twice my size
he threw me out of that joint
don't know how i got here
but i know that i'm in deep
that's what happens when you're looking for action
on twenty minutes sleep
i got my shit together
and i hit another bar
when i staggered outta that one
i got hit by a police car
the cop said what's your problem son
do we need to haul you in?
i said no sir thanks it's quite all right
all we need's a fifth of gin
don't know how i got here
but i know that i'm in deep
that's what happens when you're looking for action
on twenty minutes sleep
i carried on down main street
in a rush to make last call
i found a dive called the cul de sac
i thought let's go have a ball
they said we don't serve your kind
i said yeah what kind is that?
the bouncer said lemme demonstrate
and proceeded to knock me flat
don't know how i got here
but i know that i'm in deep
that's what happens when you're looking for action
on twenty minutes sleep
