Lyrics

I can see my teenage father standing straight on a desolate corner
In the shadow of tentacled towers by the red light of america
I imagine how his mother felt when she heard that her husband was dying
And that underground heroes of the tarmac shooting smack were blowing up worlds
And damned out loud
He, can you tell me how does it feel?

Yeah, tell me, can you imagine, for a second
Doing anything that you don't have to?
Well that's what I'm accustomed to so hooray for me and fuck you

When I slept with stony faces on the riverbank
My angeldevil reveller shook me desperately in dying
I don't exactly want to apologize for anything, and now
We're all mad and tangled in secret rooms with roman candles
On an endless graveyard train

Yeah, tell me, can you imagine, for a second, doing
Anything just 'cuz you want to?
Well, that's just what I do so hooray for me and fuck you

Yeah, I was dreaming through the "howzlife", yawning
Car black, when she told me "mad and meaningless as ever.."
And a song came on my radio like a cemetery rhyme
For a million crying corpses in their tragedy of respectable existence

Oh, yeah, I'm not respectable, and never sensible
I've been incredible so damned irascible
And I like the things I do so hooray for me and fuck you
