Charles Bukowski - Are You Drinking? lyrics

Washed-up, on shore, the old yellow notebook
Out again i write from the bed
As I did last year
Will see the doctor, Monday
"yes, doctor, weak legs, vertigo, head-
Aches and my back hurts"
"are you drinking?" he will ask
"are you getting your exercise, your
Vitamins?" i think that I am just ill
With life, the same stale yet fluctuating
Factors even at the track
I watch the horses run by and it seems
Meaningless
I leave early after buying tickets on the
Remaining races
"taking off?" asks the motel clerk
"yes, it's boring" i tell him
"If you think it's boring
Out there" he tells me, "you oughta be
Back here" so here I am
Propped up against my pillows again
Just an old guy just an old writer
With a yellow notebook
Something is walking across the
Floor toward
Me oh, it's just
My cat this
Time
