lyrics

Never been a simple man,
who can hold down whiskey enough not to bother.
Never been a wealthy man
with a fresh-pressed ambivalence he picked up from his father.

Never been a skeleton
in a cold gray crypt with his ancestors nearby,
and I didn't let the stranger in,
because his weird thick face felt so out of place next to mine,
but the same five words have I
as old and bitter men,
and newborn children:
what the hell is happening?
Which of these bubbles do I fill in?

I got only respect for the con man,
because he gets them all,
and tears their baseless pride
down a size.

Now I'm not one for etiquette,
if you're not here late, then you're in for a long wait,
but I'm not a degenerate,
getting high on paint on the side of the interstate,
but I got the same five words
as old and bitter men
and newborn children:
what the hell is happening?
Which of these bubbles do I fill in?
