Avalanche or roadblock | |
I was a snowball in hell | |
Avalanche or roadblock | |
A jailer trapped in his cell | |
Money's all broke, and food's going hungry | |
If it wasn't for disappointment | |
I wouldn't have any appointments | |
Side effect or drug trip | |
Don't tease me with all of your might | |
Side effect or drug trip | |
My panacea's in a Xerox shop | |
Have a nice day, you want it when? | |
Have a nice day, have a nice day | |
I didn't expect to find a salesman drinking coffee this late in the morning. How long you been here, Joe? | |
Oh, I don't know, I guess thirty, forty-five minutes maybe. Why do you ask? | |
You must be making a lot of sales, piling up good income. | |
Oh... uh... I'm doing all right. I could do better, but... Ohahaha I get it Paul. Back on that old 'Time is Money' kick, right? | |
Not back on it, Joe, still on it. | |
Avalanche or roadblock | |
I was a snowball in hell | |
Avalanche or roadblock | |
A jailer trapped in his cell | |
Money I owe, money-iy-ay | |
Money I owe, money-iy-ay | |
Avalanche or roadblock | |
I was a snowball in hell | |
Notes | |
The Frank O'Toole demo version adds more of the spoken dialogue ad nauseum as follows: | |
Okay, okay | |
Okay, okay, okay let's | |
Okay, okay | |
Okay, okay, okay let's | |
Okay, okay | |
Okay, okay, okay let's | |
Avalanche or roadblock | |
I was a snowball in hell | |
Avalanche or roadblock | |
A jailer trapped in his cell | |
Money's all broke, and food's going hungry | |
If it wasn't for disappointment | |
I wouldn't have any appointments | |
Did I affect your drug trip | |
Don't tease me with all of your might | |
Did I affect your drug trip | |
You threw my wallet in the wishing well | |
Have a nice day, you want it when? | |
Have a nice day, have a nice day | |
