Something I Know

It was a quiet night
When I met her inside
Of the road side convelator
Something to hide
She said "I know something"
I know something and yes
You should try to know it too
And so she took me down
To the moonlight lounge
And in my ears they played their track
They made me put on a smile
When I was hiding a frown
They made me raise my fist
And now I'm bringing it down

Now the punks take the buses
While the kids ride the shame
Of the drunk shop operator
Calling my name
He barks into his system that
There's nothing to fear
As the moon men pump
Another dose into his ear
And I'm watching the streets now
And what do I see?
The light high commentator
Looking at me
He screams out and he tells me
What he wants me to do
He says nothing's ever gonna be
Good enough for you

So I walked on down
To the moonlight lounge
With a gun strapped on my back
It was quiet until the moment of
My surprise
The sound of a heart attack

Tonight the people are watching
As we engage in idle
Boring conversation
It'll be the death of me
'Cuz I'm nothing but a metal head
Sleeping in this plastic bead so
Put this nothing in my head here's something
I don't know

Not too far
Know who you are
Eat candy bars and bass guitars
Don't stop for no one
Would you blow one off
If it meant you could go one
Extra mile for more than style
Come catch me it will take a while
But don't you ever doubt that this is something that I know
