No more simple tunes
No more easy poon
It takes so many millions to get laid
Goddamn the circumstance that brought me here
And goddamn you my friend
Goddamn the circumstance that brought me here
And goddamn you my friend
Yeah, so many fools
It's time to lose the tools
I said, "Give 'em hell boys on the Nile"
Goddamn the circumstance that brought me here
And goddamn you my friend
Goddamn the circumstance that brought me here
And goddamn you my friend
Goddamn the circumstance that brought me here
And goddamn you my friend
Goddamn the circumstance that brought me here
And goddamn you my friend
I'm wading through the herds
[Incomprehensible] my dying words
Yeah, time at the mission thanking myself
Goddamn the circumstance that brought me here
And goddamn you my friends
Goddamn the circumstance that brought me here
And goddamn you my friends
Goddamn the circumstance that brought me here
And goddamn you my friends
Goddamn the circumstance that brought me here

You take a look at the script
Did you forget your cues
Ignore your lines and fail that gut check?
Stop the clock
Empty vessel, macho man
Come on, let me hold your hand
Don't try to talk, don't try to walk
Or even breathe without me
You ain't got it all wrong
It's the lure of beauty
Well, I'll be there in a minute
When I can spare some time
Yeah, I gotta get a hardon
It's something I invented and I think you might like it
The way you drift like a dreamboat
And you shake like a battleship
Life ain't ever dull when the deepest
Of the green seas holds your lovely hull
Well, you got it all wrong
Lure of beauty
It's the lure of beauty
Helps you do what you wanna do
Say what you mean
It means you don't need a home
Don't need your friends
Doesn't seem like such a good thing
Does it, in the end?
Well, you're dreaming on the left side, alright
Take a rocket to the right side's shibboleth
Being truly free it ain't ever as easy as being bereft
Well, I studied your conception, oh yeah
And your Daddy didn't know, oh oh
And your Momma was obsessed with the ceiling fan
And the open window, the way that the wind blows
Well, you got it all wrong
Well, I'm takin' a leap into the ozone's fade
I got drunk on electricity again
Did that hard water break your back?
Did a pile of rock and roll do it?
Did you dip into Heaven with bells on your balls?
The freaks of nature call you home
You got it all wrong
I'm the hammer, you're the peach
You got it all wrong
It's the lure of beauty
[Incomprehensible]
It isn't all your fault, isn't all your fault
That you got it all wrong
Yeah, you got it all wrong, got it all wrong

Now I know, what it's like to be afraid of you
And I'm a yoyo that swings between the old and the new
And I wonder what I said before I realized that you're nothing
At least you're nothing new
Yeah, now I know that I made a big mistake on you
And its undertow is threatening to drag me down too
And I wonder what I said before I told the truth, I know you
I've been waiting and I'm sick of waiting all the time
You know that you ring me
You know that you ring me
You know I knocked on your front door
They said you weren't staying there anymore
Ain't it amazing how quickly amazing things can die
You know that you bring me down
You know that you wear me out
You know that you ring me like a dinner bell going south

Well I got down on the subway with my oldest friend Jean Luke
And commemorated the occasion with his gin and my juice
"Luke, you got me thinkin', you're drunk all the time"
"No" with a chuckle, "I'm not drunk I feel so fine"
Lay it down in full view
Lay it down in full view
Well stuck there on the D train where it heads above ground
Into a scene of blasted buildings
Where the drunks go to fall down
Starin' out the window asked about Secona Lee
"And Luke, do me a favor, never mention that to me"
Lay it down in full view
And lay it down in full view
He's still starin' out the window as I pat myself on the back
And I feel a little better 'cause I'll never end like that
But you know our only difference
He gets drunk while I chase fame
Just like Luke in the evening, there's no one to say my name
Lay it down in full view

Ever wonder why there's an end to it?
Clockwise slipping down a clogged drain
In that period two dimensions out of three
Tried to fit it like a broken chain
The mirror can't explain to the crowd
Just how the con went down
Tonight's act is in a double lined garbage bag
For your pleasure with a top hat and cane
In the quicksand you're on land and you're offshore
In the quicksand, it's on land and offshore
Ever wonder why people disappear?
Sucked under by the day's tight undertow
A thick accumulation of boredom and fear
On a raft made out of rotten sticks
Caught on a sea of bad risks
Catch it soon, is that the seventh wave
Don't dawdle over twice tried failures
Have you ever seen how those wolves behave?
Quicksand you're on land and you're offshore
Quicksand you're on land and you're offshore
Ever wonder why there's a house that sits
As empty as the day that someone finished building it?
Birds on the highway, rat on the porch
They're singing to the people who used to live next door
They don't answer that phone anymore
And the quicksand you're on land and you're offshore
The quicksand you're on land and you're offshore
The quicksand you're on land and you're offshore
Offshore

I was caught in a bad dream I was locked out on love
I got stuck in the slipstream until I lucked out for once
In the sky behind this club I saw her face high rise
It didn't want to lose it on that miracle mile
But we played at CBGB on a 4th of July 3 a.m.
Sound man wanted to kill us then
He was strung out on Ex-Lax, he was fucked in his lungs
He got shot out on Avenue A while sucking on some slut's tongue
He would dress up like a whore just to get lucky once in a while
I didn't want to lose it on that miracle mile
But then we played at the Knitting Factory for fifteen people
Thirty bucks an' someone broke into the goddamn truck
He had shit in his pants, he had a needle in his arm
He just stole a couple sleeping bags that he needed to stay warm
He couldn't even walk, we found him crawling in a garbage pile
I didn't want to lose it on that miracle mile
But we met with even greater misfortune in the Armpit of the Americas
Four dumb hicks from hunger, we got ripped off by these assholes
At a Fort Lee garage, they didn't weld that motherfucking leaf spring
Now those sparks were a mirage, we hallucinated freely
Huddled shivering on the tile
And I didn't want to lose it on that miracle mile
But six hundred dollars later we were still drinking bad coffee
Couldn't sleep stomachs were full of pizza grease
Well I called her up long-distance there was freezing on the line
Did she trust me, could she throw me with a strong breeze from behind?
Oh, no and no again, no fucking shit a crazy smile
And I didn't want to lose it on that miracle mile
But the stage was set for tension so I cried and I spit
I drooled and wept and I hit the gas for Pittsburgh
I was caught in a bad dream I was out on the nod
I got stuck in the slipstream until I blacked out

You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you put it on my tab
You put it on my tab
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you take what you should've left
And leave what you should've grabbed
What drunk with any common sense at all
Would mix his beer and gin like that?
You must really want to get it back
Or may I suggest a draft to help you digest
The sugar in that Boone's Farm Wine
Or any other really cheap apple kind
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you put it on my tab
You put it on my tab
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you take what you should've left
And leave what you should've grabbed
What kind of drunk with any self-respect at all
Would give up on his friends that way
Would give in to the pressure's sway?
I never asked you to swim
In that soup bowl of contempt
So full of wine and bar mop slop
Spilling on the girls like a bull in a china shop
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you put it on my tab
You put it on my tab
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you take what you should've left
And leave what you should've grabbed
What drunk with any common sense at all
Would mix his beer and gin like that?
You must really want to get it back
Did I ever ask you to swim
In that soup bowl of our contempt?
So full of wine and bar mop slop
Spilling on the girls like a bull in a china shop
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you put it on my tab
You put it on my tab
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you take what you should've left
And leave what you should've grabbed
You take what you [Incomprehensible]

Drag the river with a comb that you just bought
For a dollar at the drugstore on the font
If you catch a body falling star, falling star
Is it anybody 'cause those has-beens don't fall far
Not like a comet shard, not like a bullet shot at a passing car
Planned from the beginning from the very start
An arrow through the middle of the truest of hearts
The night you beat me up, you said it wouldn't last
And you thought it would sink into the past
But it never could and it never will
I drag the river and I feel it still
That trick sent us into triple overtime and into sudden death
Certain inconsistencies saved us at the net
Like that gentle retardation that I never will forget
I won't forget, not like the time you let, pass you by
Like a comet in the night with its tail shining bright
A poker in the face of a dream pursuing sight
The night you beat me up, you said it wouldn't last
And you thought it would sink into the past
But it never could and it never will
I drag the river and I feel it still
Salt, sugar, water and grease
Run through the veins of the local police
Wide of the target and short of the mark
Like bears in the corner of a national park
They don't bark like dogs or howl at the moon like a wolf in the fog
They never move too fast, too far or too soon
The night you beat me up, you said it wouldn't last
And you thought it would sink into the past
But it never could and it never will
I drag the river and I feel it still

I'm gonna miss your good humor
When you take it back to Wisconsin
Could you leave it here until the end of the year
Or at least until November comes
Someone's crying in the laundry room
I think she threw up in her boyfriend's lap
I hear the sound of breaking glass
And it hits me with all the impact of a wet firecracker
I know damn well that I'm sitting on a wet firecracker
I thought you said you never wait for the fun to start
And you never stop when the party ends
So why'd you put the brakes on
You're gonna be late for your own wake
Take that train outta here
Dead to the world but I can't ignore
What's been hiding in the hallway trash
Everyone likes to claim innocence
Until the pigs head out the back
I know damn well that I'll be sleeping on the bathroom floor

I thank God for relentless thirst
Corn liquor can't speak unless you drink it first
I toasted him before the set
Shouldn't fly a plane drunk on anisette
He counseled through the bourbon haze
Never use a cruelty when a joke will do in its place
I always drink before the race
It's a savage world not afraid to show a savage face
In a world of swarming flies
Not an angel or an athlete could live so high
To clip the pylon's edge
It's a rookie mistake, it'll be on the rookie's head
The crowd's a rapacious beast
You can feel its hunger before every feast
Thanks for advice my sodden friend
I'll look deep inside to see if I belong with the men
Not one of you
A tarnished angel
On the night I said goodbye
It was for effect
