The King's crossing was the main attraction
Dominoes falling in a chain reaction
The scraping subject ruled by fear told me
Whiskey works better than beer
The judge is on vinyl, decisions aren't final
And nobody gets a reprieve
And every wave is tidal
If you hang around you're going to get wet

I can't prepare for death any more than I already have C G Dm
Verse:
AmAll you can do now is Fwatch the shelves
The Cgame looks Geasy, that's Dmwhy it sells
Chorus:
CFrustrated fireworks B/Aminside your head
Are going Amto stand and delG/Amiver Fdark instead
CThe method acting that B/Ampays my bills
Keeps the Amfat man feedinG/Amg in FBeverly Hills
CI got a heavy metal mouth, it B/Amhurls obscenity
And I get Ammy check fromG/Am the Ftrash treasury
CBecause I took my own insides B/Amout
AmIt don't matter cause I Fhave no sex life
And Call I wanna do Gnow is Dminject my ex-wife
AmI've seen the movie
And I Fknow what happens C G Dm
AmIt's Christmas time
And the Fneedle's on the tree
A Cskinny Santa is Gbringing Dmsomething to me
AmHis voice is overwhelming
But his Fspeech is slurred
And I Conly Gunderstand Cevery other Fword
Open your parachute and grab your gun
Float down like an omen, a setting sun
Read the part and return at five
It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
But I don't care if I fuck up
I'm going on a date
With a rich white lady
Ain't life great'
Gi'me one good reason not to do it
(Because I love you)
So do it.
This is the place where time reverses
And dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
Instruments shine on a silver tray
CDon't let me get Gcarried away
CDon't let me get Gcarried away
CDon't let me be Gcarried Dmaway
