Wet Blanket

Falling for the creep,
The body leech,
Here he comes
Vicious, hypnosis,
Clenched fist sayin'
"It's wrong to want more than a folk song"
Underneath the shaker knit,
He's a brick wall
She keep fallin' for the trick,
Vegetariate, sing-along,
Give a little kick,
With your fine thigh high.
*Doo-doo-doo, We're on to you.*
Tearin' her down,
Talkin' her down,
Under your breath,
Makin' a mess,
See she is happy
You wanna break it
*Doo-doo-doo, We're on to you.*
Tearin' her down,
Talkin' her down,
Under your breath,
Makin' a mess,
See she is happy
You wanna break it
*Doo-doo-doo, We're on to you.*
Your phony roots,
Borrowed guitar,
Tellin' her what to think we are
You the number one,
Wet blanket,
Hardly a day goes by you don't try to break down,
No, I don't buy it,
You're still around I wonder why,
She just keep
Falling for the creep,
The body leech,
Here he comes
Vicious, hypnosis,
Clenched fist sayin'
"It's wrong to want more than a folk song"
Underneath the shaker knit,
He's a brick wall
She keep fallin' for the creep,
The body leech,
Comin' on
Vicious hypnosis,
Clenched fist sayin'
"It's wrong to want more than a folk song"
"I'm wrong to want more than a folk song"
"I'm wrong to want more than a folk song"
Underneath the shaker knit,
He's a brick wall,
She keep fallin' for the trick,
Vegetariate sing-along,
Give a little kick,
With your fine thigh high,
*Doo-doo-do-do-do*
*Doo-doo-do-do-do*
*Doo-doo-do-do-do* *Ba ba, ba ba ba ba*
*Doo-doo-do-do-do* *Ba ba, ba ba ba ba*

*Doo-doo-doo, We're on to you*
Tearin' her down,
Talkin' her down,
Under your breath,
Makin' a mess,
See she is happy you wanna break it
*Doo-doo-doo* we're on to you
Your bathing suit,
Borrowed guitar,
Tellin' her what to think we are,
You the number one
Wet blanket,
You're still around I wonder why,
You're still around I wonder why,
You the number one wet blanket.
