(I’m always one cheeseburger short)
(And a cigarette that I can’t afford)
I got a hunger for something I can’t quite name,
feels like life’s always playing the same damn routine.
I’m chasing dreams down the road of rust,
but every corner turns to dust.
I light a smoke, but it burns too fast,
I find myself staring at the empty glass.
One more dollar could change it all,
but I’m stuck on the edge, just waiting to fall.
I’m always one cheeseburger and a cigarette short,
living on the edge of this last resort.
The good life’s dangling just out of reach,
like a lighthouse I can see, but I’ll never breach.
One cheeseburger and a cigarette short,
like a movie where I can’t cut to the next retort.
(Always missing what I need the most)
(Just one bite and a puff, feeling like a ghost)
I see them roll by in their shiny cars,
got everything they want, but still chasing stars.
While I’m out here with my empty plate,
watching the rich pick up my fate.
I’m looking for a break, but I can’t get ahead,
stomach growls while the ash turns red.
Another day, another hour, another chance to lose,
and all I got left is this busted fuse.
I’m one step behind where the winners stand,
with nothing but crumbs in this broken hand.
If I could just get that next small taste,
maybe life wouldn’t feel like such a waste.
I’m always one cheeseburger and a cigarette short,
living on the edge of this last resort.
The good life’s dangling just out of reach,
like a lighthouse I can see, but I’ll never breach.
One cheeseburger and a cigarette short,
like a movie where I can’t cut to the next retort.
(Always missing what I need the most)
(Just one bite and a puff — what?)
“Listen Sahar, here’s the situation–
I can’t even afford to pay attention, alright?”
I’m always one cheeseburger and a cigarette short,
living on the edge of this last resort.
The good life’s dangling just out of reach,
like a lighthouse I can see, but I’ll never breach.
One cheeseburger and a cigarette short,
like a movie where I can’t cut to the next retort.
(Always missing what I need the most)
(Just one bite and a puff — ahh fudge it, just buy my shit)
One cheeseburger and a cigarette short,
(I’m always one cheeseburger short)
(And a cigarette that I can’t afford)
