Lyrics

[00:31.76] Cause I lost my job two weeks before Christmas
[00:44.26] And I talked to Jesus at the sewer
[00:49.04] And the Pope said it was none of his God-damned business
[00:57.26] While the rain drank champagne
[01:01.84] My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted
[01:09.91] Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got is the one I've never tasted
[01:22.36] Oh but they'll take their bonus pay to Molly McDonald,
[01:36.85] Neon lady, beauty is that which obeys, is bought or borrowed
[01:54.29] Cause my heart's become a crooked hotel full of rumors
[02:07.06] But it's I who pays the rent for these fingered-face out-of-tuners
[02:19.24]
[02:19.69] And I make 16 solid half hour friendships every evening
[02:32.50] Cause your queen of hearts who is half a stone
[02:34.99] And likes to laugh alone is always threatening you with leaving
[02:44.94] Oh but they play those token games on Willy Thompson
[02:59.67] And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson
[03:17.15] Cause they told me everybody's got to pay their dues
[03:22.03] And I explained that I had overpaid them
[03:30.02]
[03:30.17] So overdued I went to the company store
[03:34.99] And the clerk there said that they had just been invaded
[03:42.82] So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill
[03:55.68] Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still
[04:21.61] Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun
[04:26.65] In weekends of whiskey sours
[04:34.62] Cause how many times can you wake up in this comic book
[04:42.09] And plant flowers?
