|
And I don't want to spend this |
|
Friday night, like |
|
I had to spend last |
|
Friday night; dying by the record machine. |
|
All day cigarettes, all day entertain the void. |
|
There are so many things |
|
I should be doing but |
|
I don't, and |
|
I don't change. |
|
All day kerosene, all day |
|
I play with matchbooks. |
|
I push them all away or burn them alive in attempts to save me. |
|
Regret would require less arrogance. |
|
I like my self on the following conditions: that |
|
I'm better than the next guy at everything |
|
I'm into. |
|
And my looks are important if |
|
I'm less sophisticated. |
|
And my girlfriend's a bombshell and |
|
I'm all she's ever dated. |
|
And money's an object if it pays for my ego. |
|
Power's the drug, and pride is the needle. |
|
And it rips through my skin and goes into my blood stream. |
|
I feel like laughing, |
|
I feel like choking on it. |
|
I don't want to spend this |
|
Friday night picking fights by the record machine. |
|
True, but not quite, that |
|
I'm tired of the fantasy. |
|
And I see the light, but the dark is so accommodating. |
|
The worst mistake |
|
I could make is watch you walking away. |
|
Not that I know how to change |
|
I do it just the same |
