I lost my job and moved back home with my folks
Don’t look at me that way I’ve already heard all the jokes
I don’t have to pay no rent, my dad lets me use the car
I’m totally broke with no hope but I drive a jaguar
The ruinous financial landscape has left this town in strife
A tale as old as the world and as strange as life
It comes at night, it comes at night, the knowledge that you’re doomed to live out your pathetic life
From noon I go to the bar spend by day just criticizing
Were we at school together? Boy you got shoulders like the horizons
I can’t pay for your drinks but I got a unique fellatin’ technique
Let’s celebrate together I got an interview for a job this week
You’re married, huh? A little dog and a little wife
A tale as old as the world and as strange as life
It comes at night, it comes at night, the knowledge that you’re doomed to live out your pathetic life
The high street is a mess with boarded up windas and doors
Being out a work this long I can’t take it no more
I was always insecure and I lacked any aspiration
Ain’t no jobs going for someone trained in administration
I went online and bought sleeping pills and a knife
A tale as old as the world and as strange as life
I went to the river to pray
I went to the river to pray
I went to the river to pray
The new build construction workers chased me away
It comes at night, it comes at night, the knowledge that you’re doomed to live out your pathetic life
