You started drinking the Kool-Aid
We were taking the bait
We were talking big talk
Never playing it safe
Looking good as Jane Fonda
On a Vietnam tank
Can't get something for nothing
Have to energize your base

But she was young enough
She was blonde enough

I woke up this morning still wearing that tie
The one with the hammer and sickle design
Threw up all the pills my doctor prescribed
And I went out to fetch me some air

This world was so crowded with billboards and signs
Two trucks double parked in parallel lines
I thoug

I want to sleep on the air mattress with you And let the air leak out, what would I do? And as we sleep our bodies slowly meet I can feel it when your heart beats, I do The air mattress with you

i wanna sleep on the air mattress with you

I was talking in my sleep But your name was never mentioned I'll sell all my race car shit to keep you and the baby I've got so many sad words, She said "I'll never wear that. I look so terrible

You could come around once a year like a Christmas ghost
Or hold me down like an anchor, baby, but you can't do both
I can't be your father figure but I could be your friend
Watch me burn my candle crazy at both ends

Nothing's gonna change here anytime soon
Catching fish in

What would it take to gain acceptance To the grounds behind your eyes You know I'm open to suggestion The one you made we never tried Let it slip right out from under Your breath and it rolled

What would it take to gain acceptance
To the grounds behind your eyes?
You know I'm open to suggestion
The one you made we never tried

You let it slip right out from under
Your breath and it rolled around my head
Oh, it was nothing I'd consider
I knew it had to happ

There's a dance hall there
Where the sick folks go
Like the olden days on the Barbary Coast
There's a barefoot child playing in the rain
You can sell your wares even if they're hard
In the great bazaar or the parking lot
Cause it takes a while to know who to blame
I m

All the peacock people left their plumes in a pile
They looked good to a fault
And the gulf water's warm like a bathtub
Full of lavender and epsom salt
Watch a bleach-blonde boy put his longboard down
Help his girl get her sunscreen on
And I thought about you in your tiny

Big black nothing Fooling everyone Big black nothing Put a halo around what you've done Because a big black nothing Is coming up Would you be my Would you still be my friend If I told you I

big black nothing
fooling everyone
big black nothing
put a halo round what you've done
because a big black nothing
is coming up

would you be my
would you still be my friend
if i told you
it's all just pretend
because a big black nothing

Rolling around a lifetime on a name that spells my past
Carried through the mile markers up towards some last laugh
And if fools could only prosper, i'm afraid what they might say
From a podium built on generations bleeding what they make

Because here it comes
Watch them al

i hope
you don't know what went wrong
'cause if you did
you'd surely stab me dead
i hope
you don't think it was all my fault
but if you do
i guess that doesn't matter much anyway

but it's not like i expected
all the people i respected
to come tumbling

If you take a step, I will make you sure that you take the next
If you tell a lie, I'll just nod my head, yeah, I'll let it slide
Cause you woke me up, and there's birds outside, and I still feel drunk
But I'm glad you did, cause last night you weren't making that much sense.

Move your slender fingers,
help me play this song.
Spend another night inside this rented mansion.
I love you now,
I know that doesn't matter.
I love you now,
I know that doesn't matter.

Kissing me full of beer, tequila, weed and candy.
Walking down the boardwal

all that blotter going to twist up your mind
you can do it, just not all the time
hiding in your room, you'll be feeling fine

always manage to have something to sell
talk on the telephone while painting your nails
little plastic bags and a digiscale
aw, this hallway's f

Oh, oh, oh brother totem pole
I saw your legends lined up
And I never felt more natural
Apart, I just came apart

Please, please, please sister Socrates
You always answer with a question
Show some kindness to a petty thief
Forgive, you did forgive

Saw the migra

He's my friend but he's no friend to me
Ask him why, he'll tell you casually
Washed up, bitter, broken, busted
Backstabbed everyone he trusted
Says he sees what no one else can see
And if I had half his guts I'd want it
To chase that fatalistic comet
Die young in the

Corina, corina
Where you been so long?
Corina, corina
Where you been so long?
I've been so worried about you, coquito
When are you coming home?

Corina, corina
Where did you sleep last night?
You come back around this morning
Clothes don't fit you right
