On a piss stained Frisco truck

Hoping some camera'd catch your face

And the rain came down

And the fat worms show up like seared shut

Half clotted blood vein sections

Fast fossil drying up

You've got no God hand in the when of a raindrop

And the paint that you use was waterbased



The sound of light rain and burning leaves is the same

The hound in night's brain learning dreams is untamed



There'll be a time for drying up and dying on sidewalks

Years for beards in the bushes in someone's backyard

Dead dog in the shade

Like an empty old seed pod



Did you stay up all night

Sprawled out over a xerox enlargement of my placecard

Weeping backstage

With the pretty plus ones ignoring you



(Ooh) these are selfish times

(Ooh) these are selfish times

(Ooh) these are selfish times

I got shellfish dimes

And sand dollars



I'll no longer be the whit. or gaylords heavy

The glasses, beard and big wig must go

I did not play bigger bank in the backseat

Of the cheese that seemed risky

But my jeans were called huskys

I wrote this one on chipped dead elephant ivory

When they come I close the closet door



I wanted to breathe on beat

And go a fifth higher

Than my physical voice was coined for

I wanted to serve with hunger

But my gut split

And the hunger man poured into war



(Ooh) these are selfish times

(Ooh) these are selfish times

(Ooh) these are selfish times

I got shellfish dimes

And sand dollars



Did you stay up all night

Sprawled out over a xerox enlargement of my placecard

Weeping backstage with the plus one babes



(No!)
