Three brides before breakfastThese reds, they're just rectusRight hand on my heart aroundMy left hand snaps your necklaceEach day is a little more scaryHolding on, get away just barelyMoms and dads are rationing their cashFor the commissaryBut I can't stop without going all the wayIt's a habit, someone gave me upThis man in the black cage, canary 'the clipsAcross here, in a pink-slipThis wish just to going back hereWhen I know it wasn't ever, ever happeningShow me my best memory, it's probably super crappyNot here, standing sexless with sluts of both sexesLiars, lumps and drug addicts and drunksI love my friends but I can't stop without going all the wayAnd I've been that way since '83Oh, midwife with a jet life or a genie with a golden spurA price to pay to pink-slipsA country Cadillac in the valley of mirrorsWith a cold cane, there was nobody hereCame for the communism, I kissed it on the lipsIt came with the singers in hazel pink-slipsIs it a kiss or it's just a dream and I'm drifting?Other fish lay lifted, only happy till the age of 10It's still a gift, but we can't go back, those two too sad and diesIt's just a dream we all haveNow I know in the touch lane, a post per post of puckered lipsFrom Academy Awards to pink-slipsI show them my Corvette with no ' for yearsAnd I'm standing in the rain to get the champagne or beersThey said 'who's that shadow sneaking up behind the pier?'He was rushing he was rattled now he's finally in the clearTo be a, a refugee from the rat race with a swag tuxedo in his faceA music room that you can't place, sing the songs on all them tapesHe's the lonely aid on the planet ' now he doesn't even write, he just rowsAnd they cover up his cot with pink-slips
