Staring at the Stars

Tobacco stains our yellow teeth

And all our fingers and underneath

Our fingernails are glass bone sheets

As we try desperately to sleep

Hearts are saddened, eyes are tired

And all this Red Bull keeps us wired

Gives us wings, it gives us rings around our eyes

We put three sugars in our tea

Sit to watch daytime TV and laugh

At mom's who don't know who the father is

And all our girlfriends are long gone

We watch too much internet porn

Who needs love when you've got silicone and strap-ons?

Beer bloats our spoiled guts

And shit jobs keep us in ruts

And keep us sighin' up the whats and ifs, and buts and maybes, and

Fallin' over in the street, it's just a part of every week

When we lie drunkenly, just staring at the stars

Remember when they were in reach?

And all the teachers used to teach?

You can do anything if you put your mind to it

We put our minds to it all, but disappointment crashed the ball

We coulda done anything, we just never quite knew it, so

Tie your scarf on tight, it's to be a cold night

Tie your scarf on tight, it's to be a cold night

Tie your scarf on tight, it's to be a cold night

Tie your scarf on tight, it's to be a cold night

Oh, oh

Said tie your scarf on tight, it's to be a cold night

And tie your scarf on tight, it's to be a cold night

Tie your scarf on tight, it's to be a cold night

Tie your scarf on tight, it's to be a cold night
