Got yer membership card to the high mighty Unwritten rule above the door says nur whitey Shake a hand and feel real special Walk around, eat chocolate-covered pretzels Next morning wake up, it's all like a dream Nothing is never more quite what it seems in this town this American town this dream town this American dream town Don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful Don't go lookin' for my long lost soul Some time and money is all you need They'll give ya a shot and start to kneed Yer face like dough, there's no need to know Yer true light within, just spin spin spin Slap a logo on yer chest Don't worry about the rest

The moon is on the rise, the sun set long ago I sit on the hood of our Chevy drinking rum and Co’ I’d cry if daddy hadn’t removed my ability when I was 10 I’d hit something hard if it weren’t for that broken bone already in my hand The waves washed away our castles long ago this morning And we packed up our things and headed back to the hotel, laid around being boring We had some dinner and you said you were leaving And you were taking the kids and moving in with your mother in Cleveland This is a black eyed kinda love This is a black eyed kinda love And it obviously doesn’t matter to no God above Cuz this is a black eyed kinda love Well your love was dead and gone since last Christmas Mine being a mule stuck around for a much longer amount of time But now the moon and the people are making their way down south And when you turned one last time these are the words that came out of your mouth It was 10 years ago to the day, just 18 years of age You knew about my temper, I knew your dad was a leper He passed out at the reception, put the ire in my predilection I broke that bottle of Maddog 20/20 and said “Let this be a lesson.”

I've been tired from wasting all this time I've been tired from never ever stoppin' But I will just cut another line There will never be an end to all this poppin' These pills that come in red, white and blue They're made to keep folks like me and you From thinkin' too much about the way They never mean a goddamn thing they say Come and get me Uncle Sam Come and get me big blue Come and get me Little Bo Peep I've lost my tail feathers, too Hey, sorry, we're closed for the year It's winter now and there's nobody here Check back in six months my dear Cuz sorry but we're closed for the year I was feeling a bit moby that day What I really needed was a good night's sleep But I climbed out of bed climbed into my Toy-o-tay Started the engine and pulled into the street Lit up a smoke, took a drag, felt suddenly young Lit up down the road towards the setting sun Next morning pulled up to this store Read the words no one could ever ignore
