GETTIN' BY
(lyrics written & sang by M. Connelly)

Black light - scented candles burnin'
Laughs echo from an incensed room
For those addicted to the second hand tickin'
Monday morning will come too soon

Sippin' honey sweet poison neat-
Suicide drinkin' slow
Unemployment line ends at the bar
Jobs cross paths with hash from Mexico

   I'm too high to come down now
            Paved roads ain't the roads I'm walkin'
      I'm too high to come down now
            I'm Gettin' By and I ain't got nothing

Empty handed carrying a song
Got it with me everywhere I roll
Death or taxes won't stop it from playing
By ouija board or beggin' bowl

   I'm too high to come down now
            Paved roads ain't the roads I'm walkin'
      I'm too high to come down now
            Organic smiles don't come that easy
      I'm too high to come down now
            Hollow words ain't worth talkin'
      I'm too high to come down now
            I'm Gettin' By and I ain't got nothing
