lyrics

I'm a lonely traveler, waiting for a plane,
a bus, a train, and automobile, I got to get away
Take me to the river, take me to the sea
Take me almost anywhere so I can be free

Blinded by doves, blotting out the moon
My brains can’t make up lies, faster than this tune
Hide behind the drums, the bass and the guitar
You can’t guess the meanings, sitting at your bar

Fuck no, you can’t take my life
Fuck no, crawl back inside, you dirty rotten fuck
Fuck no, I given up all hope
Fuck no, you know, you know you know you know

Sugar plum magic, gum drop crazy dreams
Brightly lit chronicles, spilled out on TV screens
Blood red magic marker, written down in haste
Too quick to action, no time to contemplate

Branded by delicious, maple smelling girls
Lived beneath tornado’d tress, rotting to the ground
Hide behind satin, lipstick colored screams
You can’t guess the meanings, your fucked up monkey dreams

Fuck no, you can’t take my life
Fuck no, crawl back inside, you dirty rotten fuck
Fuck no, I given up all hope
Fuck no, you know, you know you know

Only so many words, pour right out of me
I can’t think lyrics, missing every line
Motivation escapes me, without another joke
Brains of mice and brains of men
Brains of greatness, brains of toads

Fuck no, you can’t take my life
Fuck no, crawl back inside, you dirty rotten fuck
Fuck no, I given up all hope, I offed myself 15 years ago
Fuck no, you know, you know you know
I must go . . . again
