about
This was originally intended to be the first song by my side project, Disaster Contraption, which was a response to The Inner Party losing it's drum machine and deciding, against my personal wishes, to go with a real drummer.
And, yes, it costs one thousand dollars,
or more.
And, yes, it costs one thousand dollars,
or more.
lyrics
Here comes mom with some maps of the yard.
She's kinda thinking bout stealing a car.
She kind of likes some things that you do.
But, you don't know what you're doing,
You don't know what you're doing.
Do you?
It's kinda lonely here in the park.
There's just some jackass playing guitar.
A Hare Krishna might be more fun.
I think it's time, maybe, I bought a gun.
The jig is up, now.
The jig is up
I left home when I was two.
Walking down alleys kinda smelling like barbeque.
Alley cats kept pissing on my shoes.
Running from motherfuckers playing the blues.
The jig is up, now.
The jig is up.
Trashed out, beaten up, broken Cadillac.
Falling face down in a pool of shellac.
Can't find my way through all these hair-dos.
Pigeon-shit-face-cream, writing haikus.
The jig is up, now.
The jig is up.
She's kinda thinking bout stealing a car.
She kind of likes some things that you do.
But, you don't know what you're doing,
You don't know what you're doing.
Do you?
It's kinda lonely here in the park.
There's just some jackass playing guitar.
A Hare Krishna might be more fun.
I think it's time, maybe, I bought a gun.
The jig is up, now.
The jig is up
I left home when I was two.
Walking down alleys kinda smelling like barbeque.
Alley cats kept pissing on my shoes.
Running from motherfuckers playing the blues.
The jig is up, now.
The jig is up.
Trashed out, beaten up, broken Cadillac.
Falling face down in a pool of shellac.
Can't find my way through all these hair-dos.
Pigeon-shit-face-cream, writing haikus.
The jig is up, now.
The jig is up.
