Get High, See Mice

I was gonna lie and steal my way to the stars I was gonna do it from the front seat of your un-registered car I was gonna pull my blindfold over everyone I was gonna find a way of making you fall for me when I was done But I'm not that young and I'm not that dumb anymore No I'm not that young and I'm not that dumb anymore Always Holding hands under the table With a keen eye for whoever's more available Dotted your signatures with love hearts on every little note Left the first name blank in case someone caught your eye while you wrote And it's taken me this long to think with anything but your hips And I always hated the taste of your pushy, drunken, alcoholic, ashtray lips But the city gets pretty for those few hours when the trains aren't running And I'm knocking down my door in advance 'Cause the wolves are coming, the wolves are coming Oh you pity me on the corner of Johnson and Brunswick Singing my heart out for loose change with my acoustic Spending rainy days indoors trying to turn other people's protest songs into beautiful music And I'm haunted by the ghosts of my more famous friends I spend every season complaining waiting for the season to end I like to think that I'm encompassing but I'm always getting comfortable You never gave me twenty minutes just to catch My Breath You were kissing me Or fucking someone else But the city gets pretty for those few hours when the trains aren't running And I'm knocking down my door in advance 'Cause the wolves are coming, the wolves are coming And I'm not coming back To the bars we used to drink at Or the drinks we used to sleep All the people we used to drink with Became the people that we used and Ever since you said you saw a mouse in my house Every single time I get high I see mice And the people that we used to drink with Became the people that we used But the city gets pretty for those few hours when the trains aren't running What's that I think I hear the wolves coming But the city gets pretty for those few hours when the trains aren't running And I think I hear the wolves coming I'm knocking down my door in advance 'Cause the wolves are coming, the wolves are coming
