just north off of 144th near the giant teacup diner by the truck stop wars
there’s a kid being born again in a hotel bathroom
there’s a van loaded full of friends with their mission in life in the rear-view
and they’re talking about girls that they touched back in high school
she was real soft, and she made being sober easy
now these girls are so hard
they won’t even talk to me unless we’ve both been drinking
i’ve learned that true love is painful and that false love is overrated
i’ve learned you wear a piece of every person that you’ve ever stayed with
i’ve learned that when things seem simple they get more complicated
’cause when the boys start getting scary all the girls start getting scared
when the good start getting married all the bad start getting intentionally impaired
it used to be we did it maybe once, we did it maybe twice a week
and now it’s every night, with or without company and
all my friends are alcoholics
they sleep alone in their government apartments
they watch too much bad t.v. but hey it’s easy
sing “baby, baby please come back and see me”
i hope that you still know the difference between being edgy and just
just being druggy
he said he’s alive, yeah he’s alive, but he’s lucky
and remember when he used to just be happy
