Sketchy Metal

歌詞

She only pays attention to the prices of cigarettes She says she hopes they'll get cheaper She only takes the pick-me-uppers To counteract all the put-me-to-sleepers She used to be a receiver Went out deep for guys that looked like Johnny Fever Last winter I swear I thought she might be our savior Went through a skater phase Went through a raver phase I went through a razor blade phase I guess I went through a hundred dollars a day It was dark along the edges of the city But the light shined through behind the reinforced doorways They're tipping over in the taprooms They're shooting through the ceiling and they're bleeding on the floor And yeah, for sure we got dosed We hung out pretty close with some questionable folks We got ideas from some dangerous thinkers We put our mouths up to some dangerous drinks Some nights we almost froze But we rubbed up pretty close to some rock and roll promoters Stayed up pretty late with some rock and roll performers It's always entertaining when you're hanging out with entertainers Went through the publicist To try to get through to the rhythm guitarist We got so high that the audience, they looked just like ants Woke up with the backstage pass in my pants She said, "I used to be a speed shooter I went out deep for guys that looked like Alice Cooper And last winter They had my heart all hooked up to computers." We didn't see the holy ghost But the father and the son they seemed like regular folks Jesus rolled his eyes when his dad made Jesus jokes And he forgave me for my sins He said, "Let this famine end and let the 2-for-1s begin And bless the beasts and the children and the water and the waiters." It's always so creative when you're hangin' out with our Creator And his son, our savior You get your picture in the paper if he lets you in his trailer It's always so amazing When you're finally coming down with entertainers
