lyrics

todays a great day for a trip to SC
well stay awake in the rain beating the shit out of each other
and when the day breaks well still be in the finer
parts of the nation w/ the car that you flipped over

on the sunday when the skateboard fell on gravel
you broke yr collarbone, but didnt tell the doctor
b/c you know his evil has come unraveled
he put the dog to sleep the last time that you walked her

every wishing cowboys death
every dying cowboys wish
will come true and hell be born
back into the child he is

the only comfort for a crying girl is drinking
so slip a roofie into every towns water
but dont touch anyone, i dont know what you were thinking
let them sleep and dont disturb yr neighbors daughter

falling over w/ bottle-handed duct tape
you called yr mother and sobbed apologetic
but youve failed in all regards and there is only one escape
to throw away all ties to anything genetic

every insecurity ive ever held in my heart
is coming back right now when all is going greatly
yr hands are the only things keeping me from fallin apart
but anyway theyre the only things that ive been feelin lately

finally im seein that the highs were really the lows
and its only now that i consciously have caught up
but it only occurs to me when my eyes are closed
b/c when i open them they get hit w/ the sawdust!
