Tales Facing Up

Lyrics for Tales Facing Up

Me and my brother's old lady went out and got stinking She solved her curiosities about me by the railroad tracks She said I reminded her of him before he started drinking And banging the babysitter every time she turned her back We opened up the sunroof and smoked a big ole joint And drank a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon listening to the crickets and trains And every so often she'd lapse into narcotic ramblings Moon and mascara I've always been a holy terror Temptations lurking everywhere If your mind's in the gutter, beware You'll find me there Me and a friend were talking after the funeral She said it should have been me but I'm still around and I been so wild I'm surprised I made it to the seventh grade And all my dead friends have settled down My eyes were puffy and she asked if I'd been crying I said, "Tears are for pussies" but who was I kidding So we stopped at the bar and drank them dry Beer and tequila I've always been a thrill seeker But thrills are a dime a dozen these days And I found a dime in the gutter today Tails facing up Still fucking up Still fucking up A funny thing happened on my way to a strange way of thinking
