Lyrics:
(Verse) Today you sat up half asleep and stared into this cluttered empty 
apartment and died. What the where the how the why the hell. You can 
watch your step and still you'll never see the mines.
(Chorus 1) Stay up man don't drown. It's time to go to town. Today is 
just another yesterday. You're back in the game again. You're gonna win 
it in the end. Disconnect the dots and be on your way.
(Verse) Every day I see you sinking low. Dragging around like it was the 
end of the world. She's gone, she's gone, she's gone man, let her go. 
Cause in the end she didn't turn out to be much of a girl.
(Chorus 2) Stay up man don't sink. Before you have time to blink, your 
number one will walk through the door and wanna play. You're back in the 
game again. You're gonna win it in the end. Disconnect the dots, 
disconnect the dots and be on your way. 
(Bridge) Thought you had it good, so secure so sure. Looking at the map 
didn't see the detour. DIVORCE or something of the sort, disconnect the 
dots, man the ball's in your court. Get yourself a shave and put on your 
best hat the world is your aquarium and you are the cat, so dive right in 
and don't forget to swim, you're back in the game again.
(Repeat 1st chorus)

That's it!  I hope you like what you see, and please e-mail me with any 
requests, comments, etc.
