Simple & Sober

[Chorus]
Simple and sober, I've gotten to know her
Screaming and screeching wheels
I'm keeping my own nose to the grindstone
I like the way it feels

[Verse 1]
I wake up early, cross-eyed and curly
And write down my twisted dreams
I tip-toe and laugh till I find the right path
And polish it till it gleams

[Chorus]
Simple and sober, I've gotten to know her
Screaming and screeching wheels
I'm keeping my own nose to the grindstone
I like the way it feels

[Verse 2]
I'm feeling shaky, I sleep like a baby
I wake up every couple hours to cry
It's only been lately that I'm feeling shaky
This, too, shall pass on by

[Chorus]
Simple and sober, I've gotten to know her
Screaming and screeching wheels
I'm keeping my own nose to the grindstone
I like the way it feels

[Verse 3]
I see the prize through the eyes of a child
And I'm keeping my conscience clear
I'm walking the walk that I've already talked
And I'm teaching my heart to steer
I'm walking the walk that I've already talked
And I'm teaching my heart to steer
