Bash at the Beach (98)

I want my money back, every cent that i've spent Every goddamn dollar and dime I used to want all these things that i've got But now i've changed my mind So back up the truck You can have as much as you want Just cut me a check As long as when you're done there's nothing left Lately i've been living like the candle is lit at both ends Stepping on all the cracks that i can (When i'm not being carried by friends) They'll ask me why and i just reply "i guess for efficiency's sake" But really, it's just more fun this way This year was a freight train in a china shop With boarded windows and doors And i was a scam artist that picked up the shards And tried to sell them for more To any poor sap who still hadn't had the misfortune to meet me before So i could buy more liquor 'Cause i hardly know her anymore You never liked the way that i looked And i hate that you couldn't admit it So i tried in his clothes to see if they'd fit To no one's surprise, they didn't And i have to say I'm pretty ashamed of the ways that i found to compensate I just wanted to feel attractive today I'm not an extrovert; i'm a parasite I don't crave company; i need it Devour my friends inside and out Replace nothing after i eat it I'm ready and willing to be okay So why do you have to make me wait? I saw your new picture today This year was a freight train And you were the ropes that bonded me to the track While the new guy stood by silent black & white Twirled his mustache as he laughed At the poor sap who still hadn't had the closure he was promised But that's okay, i guess i can wait Maybe next year you can be honest
