lyrics

Raindrop on hussy day
Sugar plum and shadow play
We got drunk, stayed up late, it was nice to see ya
Just the product of a new man
Clenching a Strawberrita can
'Neath the vein of the crooked hand desperate to free ya

And the stone from the sidewalk mercurially rocked and rose
As we traced the moonlight of the comatose kite with our toes
And we scarfed down fried chicken and pizza, got sauce on my nose
No, I may not know much but still, even the idiot knows

Still, many a youth subside
In the scent of formaldehyde
We got bored, went outside, spoke of Barcelona
You know, it's tough titties quitting you
And it's tougher outwitting you
When you're gone, I'll try my very best not to phone ya

And these highways, they're all interwoven, I don't know what they mean
These inherent numerical values, I don't know what they mean
And the touch of another human being, I don't know what that means
I don't understand much but still, even the idiot dreams
