Fountains of Wayne - Bright Future in Sales



sleeping on a planter at the Port Authority, waiting for my bus to come
seven scotch and sodas at the party, now I don't remember where i'm from

i think I had a
black wallet
in my back pocket
with a bus ticket
and a picture of my baby inside
and if I make it home alive

i'm gonna get my shit together
cause I can't live like this forever
you know i've come too far
and I don't wanna fail
i've got a new computer
and a bright future in sales
yeah, yeah
a bright future in sales
yeah, yeah

Heading for the airport on a misty morning
gonna catch a flight to Baltimore
trying to kill an hour with the whisky sour
if theres time I might have just one more

i gotta do some quick reading
for the big meeting
but my head is spinning
and I can't quite open my eyes
as long as I don't have to drive

i'm gonna get my shit together
cause I can't live like this forever

i've come to far
and I don't wanna fail
i've got a new computer
and a bright future in sales
yeah, yeah
a bright future in sales
yeah, yeah

i had a line on a brand new account
but now I can't seem to find where I wrote that number down
i tried to focus i'm staring at the screen
pretending like I know what all these little flashing lights mean

i gotta do some quick reading
for the big meeting
and my head is spinning
and I quite open my eyes

i'm gonna get my shit together
cause I can't live like this forever
i've come to far
and I don't wanna fail
i've got a new computer
and a bright future in sales
yeah, yeah
a bright future in sales
yeah, yeah
