lyrics
I need some help, I cant get up,
my tongue is stuck to the pavement with my luck.
I know it's been a little while,
with reptiles and crustaceans,
with my mile high expectations of an unfounded love
that's grasping at cut plastic straws
I stagger through neon saloons,
my kung fu moves need soothing.
Rub you lotion on my skin with silken glove,
and watch as I coil around a comment made last week
about my drinking, stop this thinking,
I'm not leaving yet,
I've left my phone.
I hate my job, I can't get work as a rock god
fuck these pits, i'm about to blow.
I'm needle thin and greedy for a love
who'll hold my freakish quirks
but the drugs aren't working I'm still full of shit,
pissed now, bugging strangers with my work
We are desired not adored,
We are the rose to our own thorns,
In a world where we're painted as we're seen.
Our stories now to sell,
In a place that's hear your stories all before.
Cars are drivers,
books are writers,
headless chickens make great survivors,
money's work,
time is pay,
wishing all the days away,
I'm drowned in gold,
my life is sleazy,
love's forgiving.
Death is easy.
Yeah.
