Lyrics:
As you expect here are the keys, so come and go as you please. What's
mine seems to be yours, welcome to my drawers. Today I heard a funny
thing: They were happy you were clean. You were headed for success in
the mountains of excess.
Today you fail them, tomorrow more.
Maybe I'll lend you some more cash, don't have to pay it back. I can
depend on you depending on everyone. Why am I guilty of my bending back,
over to breaking the object of some desire.
Too late, too late. Today I'm saving you. I must have finished my last care,
with that beer, with some idea I might win, while losing, that's some
mentality I have, to finish talking. I'm finished talking. I'm finished
talking.
Today I heard a funny thing: They were happy you were clean. And you
won't be looking back, to the one who helped you pack.
That's it. I hope you like the transcription. E-mail me if you have any
comments, changes, or anything else.
