well, the booze in my blood
runs fast and loud
and my brain shouts
down to my mouth
say whatever i think
say it at him
and when the dam bursts open
and you're drowned out, boy
better go outside, sit in your boat
and wait
'til you get washed away
hold onto your thumbs
tighten your eyelids, uh-uh, uhuh
lock up your ears, my dear,
i'm verbal when i am loaded
duck under that desk,
cover your neck, uh-uh uh-uuuh
thicken your skin as i begin
to shoot myself in the foot again
and as the body succumbs
and my mouth goes numb
i limp out to the sound
of the breaking of broken toes
a vandal spoke
and in the stark and the sobering
dry sunlight
i will blink my eyes and
hope the blink can erase
all the shit that i said
and did
hold onto your thumbs
tighten your eyelids, uh-uh, uhuh
lock up your ears, my dear,
i'm verbal when i am loaded
duck under that desk,
cover your neck, uh-uh uh-uuuh
thicken your skin as i begin
to shoot myself in the foot again
and if i shoot at you,
you should shoot at me, too
and we can drown in pools
of the thick dark words we threw
and as my face turns white
i apologize
i am sorry
it's not your fault
its mine
hold onto your thumbs
tighten your eyelids, uh-uh, uhuh
lock up your ears, my dear,
i'm verbal when i am loaded
duck under that desk,
cover your neck, uh-uh uh-uuuh
thicken your skin as i begin
to shoot myself in the foot again
