lyrics

She asked what I was building
I said, “any empire that we choose,”
She laughed a kissed my neck
--I was a dreamer then

Every now and then
A struggling artist who paid their dues
Falls drunkenly asleep
And dies in the snow
**
I weren’t the worst
Won’t be the last
Worked any time that I found

Rolling smoke to get by
This old truck does ramble on
Til the day it breaks down on you
**
My first job out of school
Was the same as my last during school
I know what you’re thinking
But I swear I actually left

I had a dickhead boss
But me and my buddy Jeff
Would often go get high
In the parking lot
**
I was born under a rain cloud
I often mistook for piss
I once dreamt up a surgery
That drained it

My wife keeps a rainy day jar
Of loose change on shelf
But a year of daily floods
Long since claimed it
