lyrics

Well your faded flock paper is a fly in the ointment
But it lowers expectation to avoid disappointment
Don't want to be around when the clientele learns
You bought the stains on ebay and you painted on the burns

I'm not sticking round to hear your final confession
Let's go to the lobby where they'll make a concession
Sing about your Gideons, sing about your soul
But the Devil takes the hindmost and you ain't got far to fall

Rinky-dink drinking in an overlit town
Cruise your bruises and let the side down
Lulu got cut by a guy that she liked
In glorious black and white

Another last waltz for the second first time
Ask me no nickels and I'll tell you no dimes
Long Island iced tea and sausage and mash
If Andy can raise the cash

This kind of night calls for one more rewrite
Mimi are you out there with your Mexican food?
Take away my pen before I change it again
I'm ready for the eager waiting multitude

Silver stock shimmers and lights up the screen
Projector lamp beams outline marble-white skin
I'm unstable jelly when I look in her eyes
She brooks no man's disguise
