Just Like That
Cut it with the turkey talk
Eat a bag of dicks if you can't walk
On the right side of the road
Had a hotdog at the Costco
Had to get some new glasses so
We hopped in the Toyota
And drove way the hell up Nevada
Pitch nut in the parlor off the kitchen
Crack a cold one in front of the colonel
She's an easy-going cat
If you can meet her where she's at
And I know just the way to pet her
On the back till she purrs
"Yeah, just like that"
We were bunk mates in LondonTown
Took up space in Little Cairo cafes
Pulling from a hookah hose
To prove that we were down
We liked the bookstores
And the pubs a little more
Carved out corners
And set fire to the dance floor
Rode on double deckers
And pretended they were roller coasters
It might be said that
We were acting like dickheads
We ditched our classmates
And we didn't make our beds
It's easy to kill time when you've got nothing on the line
And when you're barely legal white guys like us
You don't compromise
Just like that
Our drama classes were a gas and a half
If I was Hal
Then that would make you my Falstaff
Give or take your figure, which
"You shall not find it so"
I feel as though we really saw one another
It was like we had this whole language of silence and eyes
And if I didn't always like you
Well that doesn't mean
You weren't my brother
You'd clown around
In absurdity like a playground
Shave one side of your face
For no one's sake
Cut your arm with scissors
And insist it didn't hurt
It's a scratch, not a gash
It's my business if I crash
So you can get up off my back
Or I can take your ass to task
Just like that
Holy shit could you argue
You made your point
And you pissed me off too
And wasn't it just like you
To get the last word
Your brain must've been
Burning something awful
You'd take a tumble
And laugh yourself together
And whatever the weather
If it's good enough for the birds
I heard you'd joined an improv troupe
I heard you were living
With some guy I sort of knew
I thought that you were fine
But never once dropped you a line
And I was sitting in my bed
When Parker told me you were dead
He said you went up on the Golden Gate
With something in your head
And I can guess what you were feeling
But it wouldn't change the fact
That you never asked permission from anyone
You never asked permission from anyone
You never asked permission from anyone
You'd jump just like that
And I wish that I had cared for you
Just like that
I wish I could have caught you
Just like that
I wish that I had cared for you
Just like that
I wish I could have caught you
Eat a bag of dicks if you can't walk
On the right side of the road
Had a hotdog at the Costco
Had to get some new glasses so
We hopped in the Toyota
And drove way the hell up Nevada
Pitch nut in the parlor off the kitchen
Crack a cold one in front of the colonel
