As I leave behind this coast tonight and the buildings shrink and fall from sight I will smile beneath the terror light 'cause I'm gonna hold you so damn tight and we still believe in pots and pans in vegetables and natural tans Twenty-two inch rims don't make a man that's what my mother told me And I heard Milwaukee in the summer is real pretty when you're not on an airplane and everything I see from my window might be Los Angeles And we start to come down through the clouds and all this resistance gets so loud and I hope that we are well-endowed I hope we don't explode and the lights are getting brighter and it seems like they don't end I guess to some people that might sound nice but to me it sounds like light pollution and your city is big and boring (fucking boring) mine is little and alive (and you always have to drive) and your clouds are brown and that makes me frown IT MAKES ME WANT TO DIE and the people make excuses for the trains that they don't ride and how can a city be a city when it's 35 miles wide? SO THE FARTHER I GET FROM LOS ANGELES, THE HAPPIER I'LL GET

Why can't you just be a person? Sunglasses make you look like an asshole. Disciples won't make you feel better-- any better than you do now. Why can't you make me a person? Why can you fill me with blood again, and fill my nerve endings with worms again and turn my fragile mind into carbon fiber And we will dance. OH LET'S DANCE THE FRIGHT AWAY ...And I'm so glad you sent me a person on a carpet of ten thousand blades a person to say "there's nothing wrong with you baby. I love you anyway and I'm glad you're still alive." And you heard so much about not giving up. You hardly remember giving a fuck. You surround yourself with invisible stuff and wonder "How could enough even ever be close to enough?"

Three Blocks 03:18
Three blocks from your house You could have everything worth having Everything within stabbing reach Isn't that what you want? Isn't that what you longed for? What you said you would have, what you'd show to your dad and swear you'd never want more but you go to sleep hungry every night and you wake up alone and you pray, "Oh God, King Cobra, help me find my own way home" And one day you will be way the fuck out of town flipping pancakes on your houseboat anchored in Long Island Sound so pick yourself up and get yourself warm and get your hands out of your pockets because you know you're not just waiting out the storm AND ONE DAY I WILL HAVE EVERYTHING IN MY DREAMS I'LL HAVE A LITTLE HOUSE IN A BIG TALL TREE AND A NICE SELF-LOATHING JEWISH GIRL LIKE ME

I drink Cherry Coke for breakfast I don't remember falling asleep I got a shell to live in I got hell to give 'em I got a brand new reason to weep and I don't trust folks in dark glasses I don't think they like me I've got a clue what they're gonna do tonight after I fall asleep So I sleep with a gun under my pillow A smokestack and a watertower comprise our skyline we will complain in sun or rain this is torment of our own design and we say we can't take it we've got to get away but mostly we get wasted and watch cartoons all goddamn day and sleep with guns under our pillows towels by the doors and open windows I sleep with a gun under my pillow
