Fountains Of Wayne
"Bright Future In Sales"


Sleeping on a planter at the port authority
waiting for my bus to come.
Seven scotch and sodas at the office party
now I don't remember where I'm from.
I think I had 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 could live like this forever
You know I've come too far and
I don't want to quit
I got a new computer,
and a bright future in sales, Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah)
Bright future in sales, Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah) Yeah Yeah

Heading for the airport on a misty morning
gonna catch a flight to Baltimore.
Tried to kill an hour with a whiskey sour
and this 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
You know I've come too far and
I don't want to quit
I got a new computer,
and a bright future in sales, Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah)
Bright future in sales, Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah)
Bright future in sales, Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah)
Bright future in sales, Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah) 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 try to focus, I'm staring at the screen
pretending like I know what all these
little flashing lights mean. (Oh Yeah)
I gotta do some quick reading, for the big meeting
but my head is spinning, and I can't quite open my eyes

I've gotta get my shit together
Cause I can't live like this forever
You know I've come too far and
I don't want to quit
I got a new computer,
and a bright future in sales, Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah)
Bright future in sales, Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah)
Bright future in sales, Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah)
Bright future in sales, Yeah Yeah (Yeah Yeah)Yeah Yeah
