lyrics

Some get high on abasement
Down in the basement
For all I know that’s nice
I don’t know what echelon you’re kvetchin’ on
Which story of purgatory
Which jerk circle of hell
But I do my time
Confined in the sub-sub-finished-basement-den
Of rated-PG lighter vice

PB cups in the parking lot
Feeling like a creep
Another boring orgy with myself
in the wallows of pleasure
32 vitamin gummies
And 3/4 of a box of cookies deep
Throw me down a pack of candy cigarettes
It’s “snack on ‘em if you got ‘em” down in the oubliette

But let me tell you
Now I’ve got myself together
Half pound of light deli turkey in the parking lot
Eaten with my hands
Spinach superfood salad with no dressing while I’m driving down Lincoln
Swerving to extinguish cigarette butts with my wheels
But you know what they say
Whether you crash on Lincoln Drive because of oral sex or because of a spinach superfood salad with no dressing, you’re just as quadriplegic either way
