what do you do?

Where did I get it

Did it go

Did I put it

I don't know

If I say it

Then it's kissing the drain

Watching me burn out

With a hose

But the stretcher's all I touch

Got to Memphis

And I cried the whole way home

I know you see

My face painted

Assuming I'm always anxious

You're not wrong so I avoid you

Raised your brow, said, "what do you do?"

Shaved for a killer

And a bum

And the best man that I've known

But the shake-up makes me feel more alone

I'm in the basement having fun

When I knew you I was drunk

So we're strangers

And I've got to leave home

I know you see

My face painted

Thought by now we'd be acquainted

You're not wrong so I resent you

Raised your brow, said "what do you do?"
