Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was quite early one morning
It hit me without warning
I went to hear the general speak
I was standing for the anthem
Banners all around him
Confetti made it hard to see
[PreChorus]
Put my footsteps on the pavement
Starved for entertainment
Four seasons, a revolving door
So sick of being honest
I'll die like Dylan Thomas
To seizure on the barroom floor
[Chorus]
I'm getting greedy with this private hell
I'll go it alone but that’s just as well
[Verse 2]
These cats are scared and feral
With flag pins on their lapels
The truth is anybody’s guess
These talking heads keep saying
The king is only playing
A game of four dimensional chess
[PreChorus]
There's flowers in the rubble
The weeds are gonna tumble
I'm lucid but I still can't think
I'm strapped into a corset
Climbed in to your Corvette
I'm thirsty for another drink
[Chorus]
If it's advertised I'll try it
And buy some peace and quiet
And shut up at the silent retreat
They say you got to fake it
At least until you make it
That ghost is just a kid in a sheet
[Chorus]
I'm getting used to these dizzy spells
I'm taking a shower at the Bates Motel
I'm getting greedy with this private hell
I'll go it alone but that’s just as well
