Your Ego Is Writing Checks Your Body Can't Cash

I got up and made my way to the door
And I dropped my conscience on the way out
I turned and I looked back down on the floor
But my conscience wasn't there anymore

So then I got to thinking...
Was it there in the first place?
Can you read it on my face?
Cause I just don't care anymore
And I just don't give a damn anymore

Why just for tonight can't we try
To keep our ideas burning bright
To light our way into the night
Just to see what we find

Told everyone I would try to get by
But I felt like I was wasting my time
I found my way this time
So why should I try
To stay grounded when my head's in the sky

Then I got to thinking...
Will they miss me when I'm gone?
Will they leave the porch light on?
If I can't find home anymore
Or will I not have a home anymore?

Why just for tonight can't we try
To keep our ideas burning bright
To light our way into the night
Just to see what we find

Why just for tonight can't we try
To keep our ideas burning bright
To light our way into the night
Just to see what we find

When we go
We just live our lives by rock and rolling our eyes
At the second place prize
Cuz I'm feelin' lucky tonight
And I'll just stick stick stick to the things I know
If you'll just quit quit quit quit buggin' me about it baby
Don't tell me that I'm missing out
Cuz I just don't give a damn anymore

Why just for tonight can't we try
To keep our ideas burning bright
To light our way into the night
Just to see what we find

Why just for tonight can't we try
To keep our ideas burning bright
To light our way into the night
Just to see what we find
