[00:00.600]
[01:48.820] The King's crossing was the main attraction
[01:52.090] Dominoes falling in a chain reaction
[01:55.890] The scraping subject ruled by fear told me
[01:59.960] Whiskey works better than beer
[02:03.520] The judge is on vinyl, decisions are final
[02:07.540] And nobody gets a reprieve
[02:11.400] And every wave is tidal
[02:13.930] If you hang around you're going to get wet
[02:19.430] I can't prepare for death any more than I already have
[02:27.010] All you can do now is watch the shells
[02:30.640] The game looks easy that's why it sells
[02:34.610] Frustrated fireworks inside your head
[02:37.860] Are going to stand and deliver talk instead
[02:42.230] The method acting that pays my bills
[02:45.750] Keeps the fat man feeding in Beverly Hills
[02:49.470] I got a heavy metal mouth, it hurls obscenity
[02:53.590] And I get my check from the trash treasury
[02:57.210] Because I took my own insides out
[03:01.730] It don't matter cause I have no sex life
[03:05.590] And all I wanna do now is inject my ex-wife
[03:09.610] I've seen the movie
[03:11.500] And I know what happens
[03:16.890] It's Christmas time
[03:19.030] And the needles on the tree
[03:21.220] A skinny Santa is bringing something to me
[03:25.040] His voice is overwhelming
[03:26.880] But his speech is slurred
[03:28.800] And I only understand every other word
[03:32.780] Open your parachute and grab your gun
[03:36.040] Falling down like an omen, a setting sun
[03:40.610] Read the part and we turn out fine
[03:43.860] It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
[03:47.720] But I don't care if I f**k up
[03:50.270] I'm going on a date
[03:51.590] With a rich white lady
[03:54.200] Ain't life great?
[03:56.480] Gi'me one good reason not to do it
[03:58.680] (Cause I love you)
[03:59.840] So do it
[04:01.840]
[04:16.040] This is the place where time reverses
[04:19.640] And dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
[04:23.860] Instruments shine on a silver tray
[04:27.270] Don't let me get carried away
[04:31.060] Don't let me get carried away
[04:35.030] Don't let me be carried away
