Me and my brother's old lady went out and got stinking,
|
she solved her curiosities about me by the railroad tracks.
|
She said I reminded her of him before he started drinking
|
and banging the babysitter every time she turned her back. I
|
|
We opened up the sunroof and smoked a big ole joint
|
and drank a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon listening to the crickets and trains.
|
Every so often she'd lapse into narcotic rambling.
|
Moon and mascara. I've always been a holy terror.
|
Temptations lurking every where. If your mind's in the gutter, Beware!
|
You'll find me there.
|
|
Me and a friend were talking after the funeral.
|
She said it should have been me but I'm still around and I been so wild,
|
I'm surprised I made it to the seventh grade, and all my dead friends have settled down.
|
My eyes were puffy and she asked if I'd been crying.
|
I said 'tears are for pussies' but who was I kidding.
|
So we stopped at the bar and drank them dry. Beer and tequila.
|
I've always been a thrill seeker. But thrills are a dime a dozen these days.
|
And I found a dime in the gutter today. Tails facing up. Still fucking up. Still fucking up.
|
|
A funny thing happened on my way to a strange way of thinking.
