Gonna freeze up on easy street

gonna freeze up on easy street
my glycerine's all run dry,
so when my engine overheats
you'll know the reason why.

I said you'll know the reason why
I can't get off the goddamn train

Just because you're paranoid it doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

Be done feelin' blue

Goddamn awful sound
Got this goddamn awful sound
My guitar is going goddamn down
Down to hell with my body bound
When it's put into the ground
Lord when it's put into the ground
Pulled the scabs off of regrets
We haven't learned to eat our conscious yet

Lord when it's put into the ground
all the girls'll surely weep.

The girls will get some sleep
When your snoring is all done
I said the girls will get some sleep
When your snoring is all done
But when you're breathin' easy
They say you're "Number One"

O well the good Lord passed me by
When I was begging on the street
I said the good Lord passed me by
When I was begging on the street
He could see I was almost dying
Ain't had no food to eat.

Well she's never on her own
when she dances up the stairs
I said she's never on her own
when she dances up the stairs
she could knit herself a sweater
from all the stray pubic hairs.

I don't expect anyone to use that as a first line :lol:
