I don’t mean to be a pest I just want to get you out of that dress Make you feel like a tidal wave Make this land a watery grave Burn me, my lord Burn me, oh my lord For I have sinned for many years And I will sin for the rest of my years Put me up on that cross Cuz my soul is lost

Drinking, drinking to forget Thinking, thinking to remember How things use to be How things will never be How things have surely changed How things will never be the same Drinking to forget you Thinking to never forget you And I’ve been drinking… Maybe I’ve been drinking too long now Maybe I’ve been thinking too long now Maybe I forgot what it is like To wake up in the early morning Maybe I forgot what it is like To leave this home and go and go and go And go and never look back Cuz I know you never look back And I will never look back I will never look back after this drink Cuz this drink is what I think Is my cure and my cure…

Little dinosaurs hatching and growing out of eggs While old vikings win hula contests down by the bay And you’re all like where did all the hip hula girls sway away away A way out of the trip See my loneliness keeps me at bay And that’s what I’ll say When you ask me why didn’t you tell me you love me Tell me that you care? And I want to French kiss every girl But I just walk I just walk the other way And I know I am a coward And I know I am a wimp But I just say it’s cuz I am being a gentleman But even the best kind of gentlemen they know How to treat a woman, a woman like a queen And my fears and my pathetic insecurities They hold me back From treating you like the queen I know you are I see it, I know it’s there cuz it’s written in the stars at night And it shines in your eyes I get lost in your eyes and they sparkle and they shine Shine, shine, shine to me And I feel the love in my toes And I see the love in your eyes But I run away, run the other way Cuz there’s loneliness in my heart And this loneliness won’t depart Away, away, away Away it won’t go And I know, I know I could love someone who could shoo it away Away, away But this darkness I hold in here This darkness I hold so close It won’t go away, go away So I drink it away, drink it away

A spaghetti dinner followed by days of regret and indigestion Comatose, laying in bed while waiting for some inspiration Have the healers and shaman of this world blogged away rituals Have the romantics disappeared, embarrassed by their own genitals Like a sadness felt in department stores full of wasted resources Or the false security given to us by our own country's armed forces Could my life be headed straight into a back alley circumcision Apathy has consumed my own creativity and I give the blame to television

Ice age Ritas, born in Havana With their crocodile smiles and all the while They shake their misery away, they shake their misery away And the little ones burn into the sun With their parachute goodbyes, as their innocence dies They shake their misery away, they shake their misery away Tell me the tale, of the boy who would sell His heart just for kicks And tell me the one about the man, who would do what he can just to get his fix Tell me about your broken heart, and how it rips you apart That you’re all alone and with nobody And tell me about how you’re so sad, and how it makes you so mad That you keep on spreading your misery Ice age Ritas, born in Havana With their crocodile smiles and all the while They shake their misery away, they shake their misery away And the little ones burn into the sun With their parachute goodbyes, as their innocence dies They shake their misery away, they shake their misery away See these moving pictures, see these moving pictures Move me to tears See these moving pictures OH! see these moving pictures Move me to tears And I will cry when my father dies and they place him in the ground Just like he would cry if I swallowed all these pills and let myself drown but no... I would carry this whole world on my shoulders If it would bring me back to you And I would go fight in the desert If it could sweep me back to you but no... It would only bring death, oh Sing to me, sing to me Why don't you just sing to me You got a voice of an angel in there Why don't you just let it on out Why don't you get your lips so close to my ear And sing to me

Got a tiger on your tail, it’s chasing you down down the well Got a tiger on your tail and it’s chasing you down down the well And it’s all well and good yeah it’s all well and good Cuz it’s good to have something having your back, could bring you back Cuz I am coming back home, I am coming back to sleep alone Cuz I am done sleeping on couches Maybe for a little while and then I’ll go back on the road with my Sleeping bag and my friends We’ll open our throats and we’ll open up our hearts and we’ll Sing sing sing to you, we’ll sing sing sing our songs to you And maybe you’ll, maybe you’ll like ‘em Maybe they’ll make your life better And it’s all well and good if you don’t even give a shit cuz Hey we’ve all been there We’ve all been there And I am packing my bags again and I am saying goodbye to some friends And I am calling my mom again and I am saying I don’t know Where I’ll be in ten days or maybe five years I don’t know Cuz that’s just how it goes, when you wanna be on the road And I wanna die on the road and I wanna get buried by the highway So you can drive by and honk your horns and say hello

And I loved traveling with you And I loved to go miles and miles around with you Singing songs, breaking hearts, hiding our art in department stores We felt like renegades Running away from the winter Going down south to warmer weather Sleeping on beaches and getting tanner And now I return to where it’s colder And I’ll stop thinking about we’ll grow old together We’ll still be friends just our paths have gone drifting apart And now my heart will go on and on And you will go on too
