I know I'm sold
So what's with the commotion?
Is it already gone?
You can catch me on the rewind
Do not deflect
Just be careful
And remember what you do
I do not expect
To reason through the motion
That I could not detect
With a pocketful of strychnine
And that's the key
I'm careless but
I bet you didn't hear that from me
It isn't gonna stop in time
And I'm too sick to be emotional
I'd take that shade of shit
That isn't at all what you want
But I don't care to review
How I'm inadequate
I'm fairly sure
There's no excuse
And I've no reason to preclude
Don't panic, I'm right here

Do you reckon me a man?
Hold it over me
Chew tobacco can
Chevy Caprice
I don't wanna be
Toxic through and through
Sleep and breathe me in
What can I do?
Limp-dicked wonderland
Careful and clean
Limp-dicked wonderland
Don't tell me
That I'm
Done.
Daring me to dance
On this unmarked grave
Only question is:
When will I cave?
What if I refuse?
I'll be running free
Howling in the night
Content just to be
You lose your way sometimes
Ignore the jeering and make no mistake,
They're vultures,
Waiting for something to break
Control your hate tonight
Commence the healing
And when you return
They'll never win,
When will they learn?
Oh it's tough shit
It's just a little bit closer now
Oh it's tough shit
Give it some gas,
You're bleeding out

Mr. Grifter

Grifter was a rich kid
Daddy's money on the call
Landing on your face
Making with the haste
Wailing all the way to the ball
Velvet on a razor blade
Dress it up and slip it in
Take me for a ride,
Laughing as you slide,
Wearing my skin
Aren't you clever?
Don't you go and say never
Let me lift you up and give you a sign
Congratulations,
Now you're testing my patience
And you know you are no friend of mine
Friends or lovers?
All these pushers and shovers
And whatever fear that you can inspire
Walk in the theater
Shouting, "It's a fire! It's a fire!'
Label on the plaintiff:
"Burn 'em at the stake again"
Tell me what you did
Tell me what you did
Lying prone to pride and pretense
Asked me for the news today
Called me over landline
Standing on the outs
Lipstick on your snout
Hand undermined
