An idea of perfection is something that can poison reality
lyrics
I'm roughshod, clawhammered
four sheets to the wind
but I swear I'll find a way to win you back again
I'm steampowered, plague-riddled
burned down from the knees
but I swear I'll find a way to win you back again
An idea of perfection is something that can poison reality
and reality makes the idea of perfection hilarious
If you watch the most beautiful thing in the world,
soon enough you'll hear a toilet flush
I'm brain rattled nerves addled
sticking to the wall
but I know you need me more than alcohol
I'm driftwood crucified
leaking like a sieve
but I know you need me more than alcohol
All the angels sing some mighty fine singing
but all their songs are about naked women
If you wait here long enough, they'll all show up
they'll be looking for cheap cigars to smoke while watching tv.
