lyrics

Well I took a rocket ship from Fort Augustus to Clyde River one night
Got there faster than a dog’s jaws could bite
A squeaky chew toy thrown up into the air
Spanned three generations on my way over there

And I’ve moved so many times I’ve run out of fingers
I’m on my seventh toe don’t you know these old memories still linger?
And I’m done going to funerals cause they’re never awake
There’s only so much hurtin’ that one man can take

And I try to be funny, I try to be true
And I’m trying my hardest to be myself around you
But it don’t mean a thing because talking is cheap
If you can’t hunker down into a deep winter sleep
I left my bag in too long, now my tea’s over-steeped
And my welcome’s overstayed like, well, meat
That’s been left on the counter for over a week
Goddammit it reeks

These little poems always seem to get me through
When I’ve bitten off more than two people could chew
But it’s nothing new, I just follow the train, choo choo
Hey thought, please refrain from using my brain as a punching bag
That’s how a man goes insane
Wait, please let me explain
