Nick Bainbridge – The Tragedy lyrics

(Verse I)
Well I can see long ago ways of yesterday
Though they seem like the blink of an eye
And it's hard for me to know if I was on a stage
Or if my loneliness consumed me, wonder why

Now it's time for the doctor to examine a
Head inside another head maleficent
Yes I try to be the man I am or who one sees
Does any of it matter?
Tell me where has my time been spent

(Chorus)
Sitting on the corner drinking coffee
Smoking cigarettes and all 'fore nine
I take my drink in hand
And I say listen, man
This is the tragedy of one man's life

(Verse II)
Well I've seen reality show its face to me
In some of the unusual of times
And as quickly as it comes it goes back into life
Then turns again like dancing on a dime

So I pray up to God in heaven
To tell me just exactly what I missed
He said I've given what you need to go ahead and succeed
But you've got to learn what success is

(Chorus)
While I'm sitting on the corner drinking coffee
Smoking cigarettes and all 'fore nine
I take my drink in hand
And I say listen, man
This is the tragedy of one man's life

(Bridge)
Well I take it all in and now I begin
To see it all in a new light
I see the rat race along out
And I'm here sitting out
I think to myself "How successful is my life?"

(Chorus)
Sitting on the corner drinking coffee
Smoking cigarettes and all 'fore nine
I take my drink in hand
I say listen, man
This is the tragedy of one man's life

(Chorus)
Sitting on the corner drinking coffee
Smoking cigarettes and all 'fore nine
I take my drink in hand
And I say listen, man
This is the tragedy of one man's life
