lyrics

Once upon a rooftop
You was cradling a crap guitar
And a sinking suspicion
That "Man, I know who I are"
Then a shingle came loosening
Sounded like a Velcro Jesus
You missed dinner that evening
And awoke with a soul prosthesis

Doctor come, pills flying outta his ears
Thumbs on insurance papers
Says "Autograph this and enjoy these beers
and enjoy yourself sooner than later"

Don't know what to tell you
But that sure explains a lot
Seems last winter
I had what you got

I found myself burning a piece of French toast
And soon, anything that smelled of sweetness
With a belt-loop lariat, I lasso'd that smoke
And ended up in Encinitas

And that is where I bought the boat
I'm so glad you wrote

Brown-skin Betty
and her friend crying "North Dakota"
Overhearing we Geronimo'n
Coming on all glad to know ya
So with knife eyes kill ya
And mouth holes drink your liquor
We four set sail for
A place where happier's quicker

So with coky come now & fashion go gone
The four forgotten into the vapor
Kids write about them until they're about twenty
They enjoyed themselves sooner than later
