Blindfold and a Cigarette
Original Song Lyrics
I need a blindfold and a cigarette
My mind is racing and I haven’t slept
I’m a one way ticket to a train wreck
Just looking for some clothes I can be buried in
Lord I’m fine
Won’t need no false hope tonight
Lord I’m fine
Won’t need no false hope tonight
I’m just standing in the water
Looking for ways I could drown
I’m staring at a cross
Looking for ways I could climb on
Lord I’m fine
Won’t need no false hope tonight
Lord I’m fine
Won’t need no false hope tonight
I need a blindfold and a cigarette

The Grind
There I was at the bottom, 25 years old, no career and fresh off a divorce. Prior to that I chased down a Real Estate career in a major Metropolitan area and came up empty, never sold a thing. I delivered pizza for a few years, quitting here and there only to go crawling back begging for the job again. I had to dress up in a giant rabbit, mascot-type outfit at a kid’s pizza party. Yes, a new low there. Most of my jobs were stints at menial task labor and lasted anywhere from 4-6 months and always ended with me just walking out. The most difficult thing I had to do was go back to pick up my last check, another tail between my legs endeavor.
