Fountains Of Wayne - Bright Future in Sales Lyrics

Fountains of Wayne
Welcome Interstate Managers
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
