The Only Thing I Care About

she had the eyes of someone older

i have the eyes that wander 'round

i couldn't see what really mattered



caught hell from my boss

don't care about my job

caught a cold from the rain

don't care if i'm cold

played every record that i own today

but the only thing i care about got away



she was a walking work of art

i am a broken wind-up toy

i thought i knew what really mattered



got a flat on the road

don't care about my car

lost twenty-six bucks

don't care about my rent

caught every episode on tv today

but the only thing i care about got away



she had a brilliant future

i have a past

i have my memories

but they're fading fast
