I Am Not God

If you want we can go and see a movie
You said i'd probably would pick something stupid
One where you don't get the jokes til after
And you can't name any of the actors

Loving you is like living without water
You don't miss it until you have to take a shower
The pump doesn't work when you don't have any power
It feels like it's been out for several hours

But you know now what you knew then
I'm not now and never was a good man
I'm not even almost decent
Which ever you get
Depends on which one is most recent

You said you'd put a quarter in the
Jukebox and play a song for me
But we're here now and not in 1970
Secretly you know that it's not meant to be
But let's enjoy the time you have left with me

I didn't care that you were married then
And sure as hell I don't care you're married now
There was always time I could never kill
But I'll die trying and now this'll be is my living will

But you know now what you knew then
I'm not now and never was a good man
I'm not even almost decent
Which ever you get
Depends on which one feels most cheated

I want to live and breathe and run errands together
I'll break so much they can't put it together
If you want we get coffee, a pot full
And talk about how the people here are awful

Although you may have taken other names
You've gotten saved more times than you've gotten laid
At least i remember it that way
But I've been known to exaggerate

You want to know if you are coming off too sassy
Ask me again next time you slap me
You were never quick to show emotion
But mine are a nuclear explosion

Ask me how instead the dead are risen
Casting a circle, chant in rhythm
To bind the spell well every time
Let the words always be said in rhyme

But you know now what you knew then
I never was and I'm not a good man
I'm not even almost decent
Which ever one you get
Depends on which one is most seasoned

If you painted your face blue, you'd look like a movie star
At least when you were younger, she said i wouldn't go that far
I still have faith in the human race
But not much, you said this is gonna be great

So will you help to get me down I'm too high
While you make your rounds, watching the sunrise
And I'll say
I never did intend this
See how hard it is to come to my senses

But you know now what you knew then
I never was and I'm not a good man
I'm not even almost decent
Which ever one you get
Depends on which one you're not leaving

Do you know how it feels to be with me?
Drunk as hell and always grifting
Is there a place that always gets me?
Owned by junkies, poets and gypsies

Don't forget to start your getaway car
My mother punched your mother hard
Right in the nose what color was the blood?
Always red always red

Think of me when you look at the stars
I'm the one that doesn't look that far
What color is your library card?
Always red, always red
