Bright Future In Sales lyrics - Fountains Of Wayne

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 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 want to fail

I got a new computer

And a birght 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

Try to kill an hour with a whiskey sour

If there's 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 fail

I 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 semm 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

I gotta do some quick reading

For the big meeting

But my head is spinning

And I can't quite open my eyes

I 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 fail

I got a new computer

And a bright future in sales

Yeah, yeah

A bright future in sales

Yeah, yeah
