lyrics

1000 Ways

you are a castaway upon an island
with only a guitar to play
you got no reason but you’re smilin’
the bills at home upon your deask,they lay

1000 ways to waste away
1000 ways to waste away

you are a waitress in a dark café
you studied acting on the side
hoping for that big break someday
meanwhile you love you’ve got to hide

1000ways to waste away
1000 ways to waste away

the tiny catapillar’s turning
he weaves a cocoon in the sky
& in the middle of his yearning
he becomes the butterfly

1000 ways to waste away
too many ways to waste away
