|
All the words in my mouth |
|
That the scene deemed unworthy of letting out |
|
Banded together to form a makeshift militia |
|
And burrowed bloodily through my tongue and my teeth |
|
And I stood proud in the gallery |
|
With my open socket of a mouth for them to see |
|
They all just laughed and said |
|
"That boy, he..." |
|
That boy's got woe, woe |
|
He lives with woe, woe |
|
And this girl who I met |
|
Whose pride makes her hard to forget |
|
She took pity on me horizontally |
|
But most likely because of my band |
|
And that's all I can get when I'm lonely |
|
And these visions of death seem to own me |
|
In the quiet of the classrooms |
|
All across the stacked United States of Woe |
|
We live with woe |
|
She said I can't get laid in this town |
|
Without these pointy fucking shoes |
|
My feet are so black and blue |
|
And so are you |
|
Please take me out of my body up through the palm trees |
|
To smell California and sweet hypocrisy |
|
Floating, my senses surround my body |
|
I wake my nose to smell that ocean burn |
|
So now I'm forging ahead past all the plutocrats who sold me out |
|
Go sob in your bed, if life is twice as pretty once you're dead |
|
Then send me a card, I'm still the optimist though it is hard |
|
When all you want to be is in a dream |
