lyrics

Never been a simple man
who can hold down whiskey enough not to bother.
I 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.
I didn't let the stranger in,
'cus 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,
'cus he gets them all
and tears their baseless pride
down a size.

Well 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?
