lyrics
Now is the time to drain the pipes
And color the lampposts purple and white
Killer scenes and acid blue roadkill
Psychopath lawn man junkin the pills
Down the socket and into your brain
Lock and load slugs into Abel and Cain
Twist top wino with the drum machine blues
Suckin on the devil, gettin down to the news
Jazz mack daddy and a moldy old couch
Terraforming biscuits, makin love to a slouch
Slide bass guitar power junkyard singer
Bury my body with the telephone ringer
Air shock rocker killin time on a bench
Calamitous, ridiculous, in bed with a wrench
Grease monkey, pill junkie, slicin the soul
Beef jerky motherfucker breakin their holes
Rule fuckin, still truckin, wire the fire
Telemetric artists gonna help me get higher
Maybe this life could be a lot of fun
Comin to a stop before it's even begun
Take some time, maybe a year or ten
Grind to a halt before we do it again
Somebody's dream could be a big payday
I could use another victory to throw away
Maybe tomorrow I can think clear
But it's a lot more fun to run in place right here
Maybe tomorrow I can think clear
But it's a lot more fun to run in place right here
Maybe tomorrow I can think clear
But it's a lot more fun to run in place right here
And color the lampposts purple and white
Killer scenes and acid blue roadkill
Psychopath lawn man junkin the pills
Down the socket and into your brain
Lock and load slugs into Abel and Cain
Twist top wino with the drum machine blues
Suckin on the devil, gettin down to the news
Jazz mack daddy and a moldy old couch
Terraforming biscuits, makin love to a slouch
Slide bass guitar power junkyard singer
Bury my body with the telephone ringer
Air shock rocker killin time on a bench
Calamitous, ridiculous, in bed with a wrench
Grease monkey, pill junkie, slicin the soul
Beef jerky motherfucker breakin their holes
Rule fuckin, still truckin, wire the fire
Telemetric artists gonna help me get higher
Maybe this life could be a lot of fun
Comin to a stop before it's even begun
Take some time, maybe a year or ten
Grind to a halt before we do it again
Somebody's dream could be a big payday
I could use another victory to throw away
Maybe tomorrow I can think clear
But it's a lot more fun to run in place right here
Maybe tomorrow I can think clear
But it's a lot more fun to run in place right here
Maybe tomorrow I can think clear
But it's a lot more fun to run in place right here
