lyrics

Ramona came over last night,
She gave me head and a cold,
Head and a cold
Dreamed that I love a good fight,
My hands they flew through the air,
Landed square between his eyes

Now my head’s on ice,
I’ve got awful sight
Led me through the sewers,
Told ‘em, “Yeah, I’m sure”

“This is how we do business,”
Well, I’ll have no part of it,
“This is how we live life,”
Then I’ll serve as the knife,
I’ll come fast in the night

Now my head’s on ice,
I’m an awful sight
Led me through the sewers,
Told ‘em, “Yeah, I’m sure”

Dreamed that we never got told
We went like silver and gold
Bought and then sold me online
It comes with the times
And goes through the rotating door
Yeah, I’ll hail a taxi for four
Bloodsucking, carnival-shoe-wearing
Jet Blue Reward Cards
Shit-slinging Animal Farm
Electric chair dynamo charm
Advertisements to wear on your arms
Asshats backwards face forwards
Listen, be calm
Wells Fargo says everything’s fine
My mom’s mortgage sure secured a job for me
Family affairs is a hobby
I’ll piss where I float and before sinking maybe I’ll bob

Now my head’s on ice,
I’m an awful sight
Led them through the sewers,
Told ‘em, “Yeah, I’m sure”
