lyrics

Was an old man sitting next to me
Crying tears like the bison
Stranded at the DMV
We'd both got no license

Crying no
Now that she's gone
I don't know
I got no place to go

He took a test and spun it out
Said he started cramping
Couldn't live with or without
Said he couldn't see a damn thing

Saying no
My eyes are gone
I don't know
I got no place to go

Life's always better when you go out and get it
But this worn out old armchair says buddy don't sweat it
I'll sit in this armchair till the day that I die
Waiting for Helen of Troy to fall out of the sky
Out of the sky

Old man says
"Sonny I wouldn't want to impede you
But I need some more money
And I won't say I need you"

He won't show
His pride is gone he won't show
He's got no place to go

Hand him his fiver
And he gripped at it strong
With years in his eyes
He sang me his song

Crying no
My voice is gone
I don't know
I got no place to go

Life's always better when you go out and get it
But this worn out old armchair says buddy don't sweat it
I'll sit in this armchair till the day that I die
Waiting for Helen of Troy to fall out of the sky
Out of the sky

Sitting in the kitchen, behind the bar
They ask for another they go too far
I don't know why I don't know how they are
But who was it filling the glasses?

Life's always better when you go out and get it
But this worn out old armchair says buddy don't sweat it
I'll sit in this armchair till the day that I die
Waiting for Helen of Troy to fall out of the sky
Out of the sky

Crying no
No, no crying no
I got no place to go
