Kafka

from Kafka by Tom Emlyn

lyrics

Well I'm stuck in my overdraft with no end in sight
I'm stuck in my overdraft with no end in sight
It's getting hard to tell between wrong and right

I feel just like Kafka, on trial but I don't know why
Feel just like Kafka, on trial but I don't know why
They said that they would help me
but that was just a lie, lie, lie, lie

Throw me a line, throw me a line
I can't pay the fine, so throw me a line
While you're drinking my wine and while you're sparing my time
Throw me a line

I quit my job at the funeral home, just reminded me of you
Quit my job at the funeral home, it just reminded me of you
Now I don't know what to do
Won't you throw me a bone?

Throw me a bone, throw me a bone
I can't pay the loan so throw me a bone
Answer the phone, or when I get you alone
Throw me a bone

I'm stuck in my overdraft with no end in sight
Stuck in my overdraft with no end in sight
Been in the red so long that it just looks black & white

I feel just Kafka, on trial but I don't know why
Feel just like Kafka, on trial but I don't know why
She said that she would help me
but that was just a lie
