Very much vodka and too much tequila: those are the ways
I learned to deal.
Across against the light and the sleet scalds my sight, stunned
I stayed put and a billboard truck runs over my foot.
So things are really hopping; and my unemployment’s stopping; and my kitty cat’s copping; and
I need to forget.
So I go to the window and smell a cigarette.
Now I’m in the clutches of my crutches:
I’m laid up, and
I sip from my cup, and
I look outside.
And I see
Christopher
Hyde-who just got divorced, and there’s a restraining order enforced-going in his ex-wife’s garage.
I’m just drunk enough to open the window, yell out gruff: “
Don’t you key that brand-new
Camry.” And he gave me the cursor, “
Damn,” returning to the spot he was, “
Mind your own business you!”
And I wag my finger, “
You’re not doing what you’re supposed to do.”
And then he’s coming toward me, and
I took a swig of my tequila ‘cause it made me feel a little nervous as he started across against the light: but he didn’t look to his right as he didn’t stay put.
And a billboard truck came and ran over his foot.
And the cops responding called out to me, “
Hey is this your cat?” “
Yeah, but sometimes it forgets.
Ah, wait a minute.
I gonna come out there and smell a couple a cigarettes.”
Don’t you hurry-worry with me…
Very much vodka and too much tequila: those are the ways
I learned to deal.
Across against the light and the sleet scalds my sight, stunned
I stayed put and a billboard truck runs over my foot.
So things are really hopping and my unemployment' s stopping and my kitty cat' s copping and
I need to forget.
So I go to the window and smell a cigarette.
Now I' m in the clutches of my crutches:
I' m laid up, and
I sip from my cup, and
I look outside.
And I see
Christopher
Hydewho just got divorced, and there' s a restraining order enforcedgoing in his exwife' s garage.
I' m just drunk enough to open the window, yell out gruff: "
Don' t you key that brandnew
Camry." And he gave me the cursor, "
Damn," returning to the spot he was, "
Mind your own business you!"
And I wag my finger, "
You' re not doing what you' re supposed to do."
And then he' s coming toward me, and
I took a swig of my tequila ' cause it made me feel a little nervous as he started across against the light: but he didn' t look to his right as he didn' t stay put.
And a billboard truck came and ran over his foot.
And the cops responding called out to me, "
