Lyrics
My Arena
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[Thurston]
pass me a joint
it's time to anoint
the fortune is sun
as cosmic exploits
spark that shit up
up down
get me a beer
I feel kind of queer
I want to get fucked up
and get out of here
poor me a fuckin' tall one
up down
take off your clothes
but leave on your shoes
you smell like a rosary
and you look like a jew
you drunk all my wine girl
an empty bottle is nothing but trouble
another bottle and make it a double
we're getting thirsty
[Kim]
nowhere to go
nothing to do
nowhere to go
with someone like you
nothing to do
there's nothing that's new
but no one is home
there's no one like you
no one to see
nothing to say
no one to go
no one to stay
no one is home
no one is home
there's no one like you
never alone
nowhere to go
nothing to do
nothing to say
there's no one like you
nowhere to go
nowhere to go
with nothing to do
there's no place like home
[Thurston]
pass me a qualude
let's do it and done it
I think I like you
I think I drank you
pass me the vacuum
