Fear & Self Loathing In Central Iowa (ep)
Caution ... product might be hot
The financial burden has put me on my knees
that darn Blockbuster and their darn late fees
I know now what I'm gonna do
Gonna go to Blockbuster and I'm gonna sue
Got a sunscreen for my car
don't drive with this in place
I got a big plastic bag
don't put it on your face
I'm not saying that I'm dumb
or I'm something that I'm not
but when I'm done microwaving
Product might be hot
I know that I feel a bit of a sap
but my hot coffee has spilled in my lap
I know now what I'm gonna do
gonna go back to the restaurant and I'm gonna sue
Got a sunscreen for my car
don't drive with this in place
I got a big plastic bag
don't put it on your face
I'm not saying that I'm dumb
or I'm something that I'm not
but when I'm done microwaving
Product might be hot
I know that some think I'm a bit of a clod
But I'm stupid and I put the blame on god
I know now what I'm gonna do
gonna take god to court ... I'm gonna sue
Got a sunscreen for my car
don't drive with this in place
I got a big plastic bag
don't put it on your face
I'm not saying that I'm dumb
or I'm something that I'm not
but when I'm done microwaving
Product might be hot
The
Color Of Your Eyes
Enough curves to make Rubens blush
And a retro sort of style
A raucous laugh that stopped conversation
And a sinister kind of smile
You would sit in the evenings and argue with the TV
And you would always win
I can still hear you breathe the way you slept against me
And you'll always be my best friend
But I can't recall
The color of your eyes
I remember when we spoke on the phone
And I told you what I'd done
I could hear your jaw clench and your eyes go cold
And then you were gone
You always said it was funny all the ways I found
To complicate my life
So I'm sitting on my couch and I'm flipping through the channels
Looking to pick a fight
And I can't recall
The color of your eyes
You woulda slapped me and laughed said 'quit being silly"
grinned and told me to laugh
"You make it so hard what's the point dear boy
of living in the past?"
I flip off the tv so I can listen to some music
put down the remote
And somewhere I can still hear you laughing at me
And I still don't get the joke
And I can't recall
The color of your eyes
In
Crosby Park
I saw you walking
In Crosby Park
I tried to say your name
But it came out too harsh
Another digital room
where we can be alone
a long distance call
with no message at the tone
Your hair shone like amber
The glory of the sun
In that lovely blue dress
and all that decolletage
Another digital room
where we can be alone
a long distance call
with no message at the tone
You sat there smiling
on my computer screen
I couldn't reach to touch you
I just wanted to touch you through that screen
Another digital room
where we can be alone
a long distance call
with no message at the tone
I didn't want to hurt you
With the things I had to say
I never thought those words
I would chase you entirely away
Another digital room
where we can be alone
a long distance call
with no message at the tone
Bang
My Bald Spot
Not too long ago I had a plan
to see the 14th farewell tour of my favorite band
I kissed my wife and took out the trash
went to the ATM and grabbed some cash
thought maybe when I get there I can meet some babe
I can impress her with my middle age rage
closer I got to the stadium what did I see
10,000 old fat guys just like me
Just can't stand it I wanna be young
have lotsa hair feel real strong
Gonna raise my fist in a middle aged rage
gonna bang my bald spot
on the edge of this stage
I loved this band back then so I hate to mention
it costs 47.50 for the nose bleed section
problem with that is for a guy my age
it's so far away I can't make out the stage
glad I got good credit cause I was in a fix
a ticket on the floor cost me a 106
the band began to play and the crowd began to fight
they call it a mosh pit but it looked like a riot
Just can't stand it I wanna be young
have lotsa hair feel real strong
Gonna raise my fist in a middle aged rage
gonna bang my bald spot
on the edge of this stage
stuck in the pit I saw something made me proud
a guy my age came surfin cross the crowd
Shoe came untied so I got down on one knee
some 17 year old kid kicked the hell outta me
I got home all broken and bloody
had a weird time and spent lots of money
woke up the next morning with a t-shirt and some pain
gonna be a couple years before I do this again
Just can't stand it I wanna be young
have lotsa hair feel real strong
Gonna raise my fist in a middle aged rage
gonna bang my bald spot
on the edge of this stage
