Bloody and bruised , the colors you Choose to wear
All night been up, working the knots in Your hair
Slumming the the bar top for any cash Dropped by the till
It's a difficult pill, it's a difficult pill to Take
My eye gets yellow, it'll be safe to say
Been dirty living in a one foot grave
One hand hanging, one hand grasping for The reins
It's a difficult day
It's a difficult day today
From off in the corner, at the corner, Croupier fans out the deck,
You tug at your collar, but only get hitch 'Round your neck
Somebody's asking, boy, where you'd like To place your bets
It's a difficult bed, it's a difficult bed to Make
It's a difficult day today, it's a difficult pill To take
It's a difficult pill to take
