I kicked the shelf at the Junkpile, one big crash
Sluggo's collection of broken glass
I said, "Every time I take my shoes off
Someone's gotta come along and try them on
You know what I mean?"
It could've been such a wonderful year
I wonder what went wrong
Help me back to last year, now that was something else
Give me something to escape from besides myself
Beside me, inside me, growl or scowl, I don't care
You could sublet my future, I'm not in the picture
I'm not there
It could've been such a wonderful picture
I wonder what went wrong
Someone stole my anger
Someone stole my girl and left me with a cold shoulder
And Sluggo said, "How can someone steal from you
Something that you never owned?"
I said, "Yeah, it's a damn good trick
I wonder how the hell they do it"
What do we own but ourselves, really?
And we spend all our time trying to give that away
It could've been such a wonderful year
It could've been such a wonderful year
It could've been such a wonderful year
But now it's just another day
