Keep 'Em Coming
14 hours ahead, a head that's heavier than lead And I've got toothpicks in my eyes, a smile more yellow than the sky I've got a song stuck in my head, one that I miss more than my bed It's a song sung from a fallen milkman who's drinking bleach instead I'm much like him 14 hours unfed, I spent the last cents in my head They're worth much less than pennies now Food for one thought shared with a crowd I've got a painting in my head, a deeper blue bled thicker red More red than Bloody Mary's coast to coast, I hate flying I said That's what I said Sad, sorry excuse Just like everything that made her smile and everything I use I won't go back to the way it was Oh I'm now huffing gas and sniffing paint To take away this buzz that I call you 14 hours ahead, a head that's heavier than lead Toothpicks pry open eyes, a smile more yellow than the sky I've got a song stuck in my head, one that I miss more than my bed It's a song sung from a fallen milkman who's drinking bleach instead I'm much like him 14 hours unfed, I spent the last cents in my head They're worth much less than pennies now Food for one thought shared with a crowd I've got a painting in my head, a deeper blue bled thicker red More red than Bloody Mary's coast to coast, I hate flying I said That's what I said Sad, sorry excuse Just like everything that made her smile and everything I use I won't go back to the way it was 'Cause I'm now huffing gas and sniffing paint To take away this buzz that I call you
Maybe I'll Catch Fire
