Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't live, I can't cry

I can't die, I can't walk, I can't talk

I can booze, I can booze, steal your shoes so I can move

Tumble in the rough, tumble in the rough, tumble in the rough

[Verse 2]

I'm looking for a new mediation

Still looking for a new way to fly

Don't want any plastic validation

Not looking for a new way to die

[Verse 3]

I made excuses for a million lies

But all I got was humble kidney pie

So what?

So what?

[Verse 4]

I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't live, I can't cry

I can't die, I can't walk, I can't talk

I can booze, I can booze, steal your shoes so I can move

Tumble in the rough, tumble in the rough, tumble in the rough

[Verse 5]

I'm lookin' for a new stimulation

Quite bored of those inflatable ties

I'm lookin' for a new rock sensation

Dead fish don't swim around in jealous tides

[Verse 6]

I made excuses for a million lies

But all I got was humble kidney pie

So what?

So what?

So what?

So what?

[Verse 7]

Can't hold you when I miss you

(Tumble in the rough)

Left on a summer intermission

(Tumble in the rough)

Can't hold you when I miss you

(Tumble in the rough)

Left on a summer intermission

(Tumble in the rough)

[Verse 8]

I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't live, I can't cry

I can't die, I can't walk, I can't talk

I can booze, I can booze, steal your shoes so I can move

Tumble in the rough, tumble in the rough, tumble in the rough

[Verse 9]

I made excuses for a million lies

But all I got was humble kidney pie

I made excuses for a million lies

But all I got was humble kidney pie

So what?

So what?

So what?

So what?
