Well, the booze in my blood
runs fast and loud
and my brain shouts
down to my mouth
say whatever i think
say it at him

and when the dam bursts open
and you´re drowned out, boy
better go outside, sit in your boat
and wait
´til you get washed away

hold onto your thumbs
tighten your eyelids, uh-uh, uhuh
lock up your ears, my dear,
i´m verbal when i am loaded
duck under that desk,
cover your neck, uh-uh uh-uuuh
thicken your skin as i begin
to shoot myself in the foot again

and as the body succumbs
and my mouth goes numb
i limp out to the sound
of the breaking of broken toes
a vandal spoke

and in the stark and the sobering
dry sunlight
i will blink my eyes and
hope the blink can erase
all the shit that i said
and did

hold onto your thumbs
tighten your eyelids, uh-uh, uhuh
lock up your ears, my dear,
i´m verbal when i am loaded
duck under that desk,
cover your neck, uh-uh uh-uuuh
thicken your skin as i begin
to shoot myself in the foot again

and if i shoot at you,
you should shoot at me, too
and we can drown in pools
of the thick dark words we threw
and as my face turns white
i apologize
i am sorry
it´s not your fault
its mine

hold onto your thumbs
tighten your eyelids, uh-uh, uhuh
lock up your ears, my dear,
i´m verbal when i am loaded
duck under that desk,
cover your neck, uh-uh uh-uuuh
thicken your skin as i begin
to shoot myself in the foot again
