Lyrics
Missing Link
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you give up and follow every whim
Loose your mind before it could even begin
Missing link it might be what you got so won't you give it a shot
So you do it all the same and you do it all again
You wake up in the morning and you ain't got a friend
Your boss is coming down on you and you can't pay the rent and then
Back into trouble again
Missing link has got you beaten battered bruised
If you had a problem, now it's two
Missing link he took you down a notch so won't you give it a shot
You're always under pressure
It's harder to be sane when
You wake up and you realize that every day is the same
You can't go back to work and now you know just who to blame, ain't it a shame
Back into trouble again
Missing link I know you tried to cut him loose
But missing link is still a part of you
Think you lost him but it ain't exactly showing
Got you by the neck and now there ain't no way of knowing
Pretend you got a will but you know just where it's going
Missing link has got you standing on the brink
Left the world to rot and stink
Left the world you pick up the pieces of the puzzle
And now you get a lot of work done but you don't get a cent
You wake up in the morning and do it all again
Your landlord's coming down on you and you can't pay the rent and then
