lyrics
Pushing brooms for a paycheck
Laying down on a box
Stomping dozens of roaches
Throwing smokes in the rocks
Pile of laundry
Making me fall
Wash the plastic spoons
Write on the wall
Smoke my quarters away
Pulling guitar strings all day
Rusted carpet by the window
Where my pet mildew grows
Sitting down on a wet sheet
Eating last night’s food
I went past your house again
You caught me out of the mood
Overgrown lawn
Junked down chairs
Crapped out radio
Drain full of hair
Climbing telephone wires
Yesterday I got fired
Playing with the bathtub cleanser
No more soap in the dispenser
Watching the fan turn around
Fall asleep on solid ground
Making mayonnaise shakes
Wake me up when I’m awake
Laying down on a box
Stomping dozens of roaches
Throwing smokes in the rocks
Pile of laundry
Making me fall
Wash the plastic spoons
Write on the wall
Smoke my quarters away
Pulling guitar strings all day
Rusted carpet by the window
Where my pet mildew grows
Sitting down on a wet sheet
Eating last night’s food
I went past your house again
You caught me out of the mood
Overgrown lawn
Junked down chairs
Crapped out radio
Drain full of hair
Climbing telephone wires
Yesterday I got fired
Playing with the bathtub cleanser
No more soap in the dispenser
Watching the fan turn around
Fall asleep on solid ground
Making mayonnaise shakes
Wake me up when I’m awake
