Lyrics

I was cruel like a president It was wrong but I ordered it Lost some limbs in an accident Playing God At a table down at Edendale Didn't feel good, wasn't eating well In the photo booth, made me hate myself What a slob It's hard now to imagine it The currency was all counterfeit Diana's face was scattered to the mob Expensive jokes and cheap thrills cost a lot Zach's staggering down Bleecker Street The label asked for a meet and greet I agreed reluctantly Oh, I couldn't be alone Signed a sleeve for a teenager It felt just like a harbinger I was shaking hands with the manicured Worked my fingers to the bone No, you shouldn't go home with the SOHO girl 'Cause she only wants materials And you shouldn't place bets on the New York Mets 'Cause at best it's hypothetical Expensive seats in a field of dreams U-turns in limousines Got to get around the detour when it's blocked Bells and whistles, fancy cheap thrills cost a lot Keep going No, you shouldn't make noise with those Bay Ridge boys When they're drunk, man, it's impossible Secondhand amps, a bent up crash The band sounds like an animal Cheap seats and broken dreams U-turns in limousines Gotta kick in the door when it's locked Bells and whistles, cheap thrills cost a lot
