First Drag Of The Day
Bob Mould

Don't make me do it

Don't make me sell the things I love

There's too much happening in this world

Don't choose the other side right away

It's been left alone for a while


If I can get to the words before that first smoke

Everything seems to come out differently


Leaving a large hole in my hip

I've never tried to quit

Here I go with the first drag of the day

Sometimes it makes me fall backwards

On back into bed


Don't stop me, don't correct me

Please don't interfere with me

I'm trying to write as fast as I can


Yesterday wasn't so bad

I thought it a little worse than it was

I don't know why I tried to sabotage my day

I wanted everything my own way


I wanted it all my own way, so don't apologize


I learn to devise these ways of explaining away now


Happenstance, you don't let me take a stand

And it sits inside on the great white picket fence deep inside

Someday that fence is going to fall in your yard

And I hope you didn't plant anything

Too precious, too close to the boundary


It's starting to sound like it's time to sign off

But for once I feel like something might have happened


Maybe I can't show this to you

And maybe I can't show you everything

Some things have to be precious and pure

Some things have to stay inside of me


Or else I've given everything away

I wanted it all this way

I learn to devise these ways of explaining away


So don't blame me, I won't blame you

It's just the first drag of the day
