He's sees life crystallized through his jar
He says he only lives for beer
But deep in his heart is a cry of fear

Danny, he wants to save for a new guitar
He's going to learn to play but he won't get far
He thinks it's an easy goin' high
But his whole life is just another try

Give me a suit that's tailored true
Give me a heart to hang onto
A heart to hang onto
