The serotonin’s rushing. I’m coughing. Well, I kinda caught the blues But you won’t catch me complaining To the super or the moon Because the carrot’s gonna dangle Until the diamond is appraised. And all the talk made me feel rich baby But, tell me, who is gonna pay For the braces to make straight, All that Colgate. Keep my white teeth innocence. My smile’s in sad shape. All that dead weight I got tired of carrying. And it’s got me looking for a friend Or a crutch I can depend upon.
There is endless entertainment In thinking the world is gonna end. And I live some nights convinced of it But I keep waking up again With my girl wrapped ‘round my body And a towel wrapped ‘round my head She says, “You passed out in the bathtube angel I thought that you were dead. Don’t die on me Don’t dread on me My love is not the enemy. And you don’t have to be No ones biography They’ll try to write you down And hope you go crazy.”
So don’t fall for that Christ bait It about as passing As rock star arrogance. Tomorrow’s a new day But it’s that same face That you’ll be wearing then.
And you don’t have to be content, But you do have to get on with it.
