Living in Clip

think i’m going for a walk now
i feel a little unsteady
i don’t want nobody to follow me
‘cept maybe you
i could make you happy
you know if you weren’t already
i could do a lot of things
and i do


tell you the truth 
i prefer the worst of you
too bad you hat to have a better half
she’s not really my type
but i think you two are forever
and i hate to say it
but you’re perfect together


so fuck you
and your untouchable face
and fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
and who am i 
i bet you can’t even tell me that much


two-thirty in the morning
and my gas tank will be empty soon
neon sigm on the horizon
rubbing elbows with the moon
a safe haven of sleepless
where the deep fryer’s always on
radio is counting down 
the top 20 country songs
and out on the porch the fly strip
is waving like a flag in the wind
y’ know, I don’t look forward 
to seeing you again
you’ll look like a photograph of yourself
taken from far far away


and I won’t know what to do
and I won’t know what to say
except fuck you…
and your untouchable face..
and fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
and who am i 
i bet you can’t even tell me that much


i see you and i’m so perplexed
what was i thinking
what will I think of next where can i hide
in the back room there’s a lamp
that hangs over the pool table
and when the fan is on it swings
gently side to side
there’s a changing constellation 
of balls as we are playing
i see orion and say nothing
the only thing i san think of saying


so fuck you
and your untouchable face
and fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
and who am i 
i bet you can’t even tell me that much




somebody just tell me who I am
