How Many Cans?
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.
Is you am a dog?
Is you got a dog?
Is you am a dog?
Hold closed the jaw.
How many cans must I stack up
To wash you out of my mind,
Out of my consciousness?
How many times must I cash out
To bring you back the check, fat
Off of my slenderness?
She says "Yeah,
But he's not in right now".
You pause.
You like her answer.
You know that but you go on.
You know but that you go on.
How many cans must I stack up
To wash you out of my mind,
Out of my consciousness?
How many times must I cash out
To bring you back the check, bad
Off of my slenderness,
Slenderness,
Slenderness,
Fire.
