lyrics

She's been
Waiting for that cruise ship to come in
For so long now;
Everything shipped down the Mersey
Ending up in central Jersey and

He's in
Central casting, acting like he'll swim
When we all drown:
White studs in his life preserver.
Chin high ever since that merger.

Buy one,
Sign on,
Try one now.
You're trying to sell me on a brand new spin,
When you won't even punch a con gress man?

The block's a little hotter than it was last week.
The Cape is out of water and the folks ain't speaking.
She's not any smarter; she's just got more on her mind.
Another El Dorado on a West Egg street/
Another Eric Garner on the Feed each evening
I'd work a little harder if I could ever find the time
To wag the dog that's
Dragging me.

Amy,
I'm writing letters 'cause there ain't much more to do.
I'm running out of things
To be in London.
Tell me how that screenplay's coming

Every
Standard issue dream is coming true, and I'm up
Every weekend, shaking hands, with
Everyone that I can manage

Closed in,
Coasting,
Post enclosed.

She's still giving him that digital punch-in,
Paints her dress at every physical function.
They keep on saying that he's not done yet.
Ten feet of tubing and a hot Corvette.

The block's a little hotter than it was last week.
The Cape is out of water and the folks ain't speaking.
She's not any smarter; she's just got more on her mind.
Another El Dorado on a West Egg street/
Another Eric Garner on the Feed each evening
I'd think a little straighter if I could ever find the time
To wag the dog that's
Dragging me.
