lyrics
Shedding sweat bullets like a sawed-off gun
Flying off walls in a room of one
Peelin off plaster from my ceiling fan
Toothpick wound in the middle of my hand
Limp wet dollar layin down in a glass
Filter smokin killer's jumpin on my ass
Broken record rockin from five to nine
With a burnt-out jimmy workin for the wine
Givin us directions
Seven plain selections
Liquid mind corrections
I'm like damn
Semaphore junkies wavin plastic flags
Wake of confusion in my sleepin bag
Blue dye runnin down the side of his face
I want a whiskey sour with a shot of mace
Corporate disco on the side of the street
Dusty gray bones looking for the meat
Salivate your life on the side of the ditches
While your Frankenstein monster's pickin at his stitches
Givin us directions
Seven plain selections
Liquid mind corrections
I'm like damn
Fisherman's net caught up in a draft
Suicidal monkey hanging on the raft
Detrimental can in the back of a truck
Ask for directions and you're out of luck
Silver tongued artist with the tarnish blues
Road hockey hitcher with nothing to lose
Cremated man in a brown ashtray
You can't hit a note when you try to play
Givin us directions
Seven plain selections
Liquid mind corrections
I'm like damn
Givin us directions
Don't ask for no dollar from me
My girl ain't got no money neither
So just leave us alone
I'm like damn
Flying off walls in a room of one
Peelin off plaster from my ceiling fan
Toothpick wound in the middle of my hand
Limp wet dollar layin down in a glass
Filter smokin killer's jumpin on my ass
Broken record rockin from five to nine
With a burnt-out jimmy workin for the wine
Givin us directions
Seven plain selections
Liquid mind corrections
I'm like damn
Semaphore junkies wavin plastic flags
Wake of confusion in my sleepin bag
Blue dye runnin down the side of his face
I want a whiskey sour with a shot of mace
Corporate disco on the side of the street
Dusty gray bones looking for the meat
Salivate your life on the side of the ditches
While your Frankenstein monster's pickin at his stitches
Givin us directions
Seven plain selections
Liquid mind corrections
I'm like damn
Fisherman's net caught up in a draft
Suicidal monkey hanging on the raft
Detrimental can in the back of a truck
Ask for directions and you're out of luck
Silver tongued artist with the tarnish blues
Road hockey hitcher with nothing to lose
Cremated man in a brown ashtray
You can't hit a note when you try to play
Givin us directions
Seven plain selections
Liquid mind corrections
I'm like damn
Givin us directions
Don't ask for no dollar from me
My girl ain't got no money neither
So just leave us alone
I'm like damn
