Leonard Cohen - If I Took a Pill lyrics

If I took a pill i'd feel you so much better
I'd write you a poem
That sounds like a letter

I'd kill someone mean
And I'd cut off his ear
And I'd send it to you
With "I wish you were here"

I'm trying to finish my shabby career
With a white cigarette and a curtain of beer

I begged you to come i begged on the phone
How wrong can you get i was better alone

I am trying to finish my shabby career
With a little truth in the now and here
