Lyrics of Build a Bridge (AAA Acoustic) by Thirsty Merc
Munching on a ham and cheese sando in the morning on Friday
Cruising down the Pacific Highway
Thinking ′bout the day ahead
I paid the rent cheque, got my registration and phone bill
If those two don't overthrow me the dogs will
But heck at least I know the taste of bread
Why do I seem to spend my whole damn life chasing paper?
I′m like an actor turned singer turned waiter
I'll wait around until I meet with my maker
Then I'll sign up for AA or something
I just wish there was some other way to get myself somewhere
This little strip of earth and all that I′ve done there
I′m like a bull-ant on the leg of a sunchair
Under a magnifying glass
I wish somebody would build a bridge
So I could get over myself
On my own I'm wasting my time
I take a phonecall on the mobile while I′m checking the meter
One sec I need to turn up that little speaker
It's getting noisy in this little town
We′re like America we love to make a ho-har out of jackshit
I never ever really seemed to fit
But now I'm stuck so deep in all of this
Come to think of it I might as well be travelling backwards
It′s been an hour and I'm only in Chatswood
I hate the way that I'm becoming a product
Go pick me up for $24.95
I′m on sale and it′s retail in the world of deception
You can treat a man if he can't get erections
Is there a pill for my lack of direction?
Thanks mate, I′ll have a pack of those
I wish somebody would build a bridge
So I could get over myself
On my own I'm wasting my time
I wish somebody would build a bridge
So I could get over myself
On my own I′m losing my mind
It's all good I got a broom and a cheap persian rug now
I can sweep the whole thing outta my sight now
Outta sight, outta mind
I′ll keep on going until I'm pushing 30 or 40
And as long as I don't do something naughty
I love my wife, what a life
She comes home to find me spread on the floor from blood poisoning
I popped a whole lot of pills and I′m shaking
And there′s a needle sticking out of my arm, I ain't faking I′m zoning in and zoning out
You wanna help me, don't call me an ambulance honey
Just get a silver service cab this is funny
Just one passenger please, going up my own ass
You take credit card? Fuck this!
I wish somebody would build a bridge
So I could get over myself
On my own I′m wasting my time
I wish somebody would build a bridge
So I could get over myself
On my own I'm losing my mind
I wish somebody would build a bridge
So I could get over myself
On my own I′m wasting my time
I'm wasting my life
I wish somebody would build a bridge
So I could get over myself
On my own I'm losing my mind
