I was falling through the cracks, now I'm piling up bricks 

I was clutching for straws, now I'm gonna take the fifth 

I'm gonna say nothing but my name and that will even be fake 

Ha! Why'd you think I came here in the first place? 



Piss on the angel, tear down the Statue of Vance 

Shove the hippies' didjeridoo up their ass 

Take away their hackysacks, that's what I'm gonna do 

Poison the reservoir and then, I'm gonna kiss you 



Sitting on my porch staring at the lights of downtown 

Someday we'll make it there, someday we'll burn it down 

Instead of running the gauntlet, we'll walk hand in hand 

All three blocks and then back again 



Eat pecans in the shell, gonna walk around the lake 

Sit in the sun and we're gonna eat grapes 

And go to the Thomas Wolfe museum 

When it's actually open 



We were falling through the cracks, now we're starting a pit 

We were clutching for straws, now we're gonna drink a fifth 

And then drink a few beers and sleep a little bit 

Up in my attic
