Grimy Places

You're almost tough as a girl, and entertaining as the end of the world
If goblins were reigning
And lava is pouring from the middle of the road
No time for showing me the grimy places you go
Horny as a cactus, lazy as a beer, forgetting the subtext of your special souvenirs
Looking out the skylight to the stars and moon
Asking what questions were answered and forgotten all too soon

You are the story
You are the nerve
You're all there is, you're nothing, and don't forget it

You plopped yourself in the box while thinking outside it
You got rocks in your feet and your shoes cannot hide it
You wrote so many songs about ghosts you hunted
Eventually you wrote one that was actually haunted
Your mid is gory with guillotine hor d'oeuvres
Voices come with grisly choices and don't forget
To pay all your bills before blowing it on thrills
You can sit there still if you're boredom mind fucked
TV drives you nuts, no room for your thoughts
No room for showing me the grimy places you go

You are the story
You are the nerve
You're all there is, you're nothing, and don't forget it
You are the story
And you've got to serve
You're all there is, you're everything and don't forget it
