Music & Lyrics by Sluggo. 2024 Wondertaker, BMI

lyrics

You know that joke ain’t funny, no graveside luck.
I voiced my opinion with the contents of my stomach.
Well, its hair on fire time, raining big black drops,
They’re greasing up the telephone poles, you know I can’t stop.

You know I can’t stop

Smelt of onion & wet dog, at the bottom of a lake.
Don’t bend, fold, spindle or mutilate.
I don’t have clean hands, or pristine words.
I don’t have clean thoughts no matter what you heard.
I get lost in my gui-tar, oh idn’t that right?
Life in this Texas suckhole is duller than a rubber knife.

Hero, the villain and I get to be the clown
Send me a message, I’ll be right down
Hero, the villain, you'll have to run me outta town
I’ll save you, I’ll cheat you, I’ll turn that smile upside down

I’ll turn it upside down

The bird outside my window only sings in Turkish
He eats the hearts of romaine and gets a little churlish.
The soundguy says I sing too soft, no one’ll ever hear
I say, ‘Whyn’t you shut it and grab another beer’.
I pushed the hands of fate into some Palmolive,
She left me standing, you know I can’t stop.

Hero, the villain and I get to be the clown
Send me a message, I’ll be right down
Hero, the villain, you'll have to run me outta this town
I’ll save you, I’ll cheat you, I’ll turn that smile into a frown
