The big problem is the main attraction

Dominoes are falling in a chain reaction

The scraping subject ruled by fear told me

Whiskey life's better than beer

The judge is on vinyl, decisions are final

And nobody gets a reprieve

And everyway this title if you hang around

You're going to get well

I can't prepare for death any more than I already have

All you can do now is watch the shelves

The game looks easy that's why it sells

Frustrated fireworks inside your head

Are going to stand and deliver talk instead

The method acting that pays my bills

Keeps the fat man pheening in beverly hills

I got a heavy metal mouth in hilltop city

And I get my check from the trash treasury

'Cause I took my own insides out

It don't matter 'cause I had no sex life

All I want to do now is eject my ex wife

I've seen the movie and I know what happens

It's a Christmas time

And the needles on the tree

A skinny santa is bringing something to me

His voice is overwhelming, but his speech is slurred

And I only understand every other word

Open your parachute and grab your gun

Falling down like an omen, my setting Sun

Read the part and we turn out fine

It's a hell of a role if you can bring it alive

But I don't care if I fuck up

I'm going on a date with a rich white lady

Ain't life great?

Give me one good reason not to do it

This is a place where time reverses

Dead men talk to all the pretty nurses

Instruments shine on a silver train

Don't let me be carried away

Don't let me be carried away
