I've lost the reason

Finally an OK calm has fallen over me
poverty and cops with guns have lost their reality
hunker down hunker down and let it
all wash over me
switch off my tv set, is this so bad of me
I got less from fear and feeling bad
there's something else I need to find
I got more to find

Baby's gone but there'll be more
I'm only twenty three
my hair is thin, my size is large, what
have I done to me
pretty soon I'll fix a drink though I've been
told it will kill me

I got less from fear and feeling bad
there's something else I need to find
I got more to find.
