Gee, but it's hard

When one lowers one's guard to the vultures

Now, me I regard it

A torturous hardship that smolders

Like a peppermint eaten away

Will I fight? Will I swagger, or sway?

Tee hee, milady

She cries like a baby

Scold us

See her tumbling down

Heil to the monkey

We're having a funky reunion

Wasted and sunk

He can only have Sunday communion

He's got nicotine stains in his eyes

He's got nothing to protect but his pride

Oh smothered a kiss

Or be drowned in blissful confusion

See her tumbling down
