Lyrics

Very much vodka and too much tequila: those are the ways I learned to deal. across against the light and the sleet scalds my sight, stunned I stayed put and a billboard truck runs over my foot. so things are really hopping; and my unemployment's stopping; and my kitty cat's copping; and I need to forget. so I go to the window and smell a cigarette

Now i'm in the clutches of my crutches: i'm laid up, and I sip from my cup, and I look outside. and I see christopher hyde-who just got divorced, and there's a restraining order enforced-going in his ex-wife's garage. i'm just drunk enough to open the window, yell out gruff:

"Don't you key that brand-new camry." and he gave me the cursor, "damn," returning to the spot he was, "mind your own business you!" and I wag my finger, "you're not doing what you're supposed to do."

And then he's coming toward me, and I took a swig of my tequila 'cause it made me feel a little nervous as he started across against the light: but he didn't look to his right as he didn't stay put. and a billboard truck came and ran over his foot

And the cops responding called out to me, "hey is this your cat?" "yeah, but sometimes it forgets. ah, wait a minute. I gonna come out there and smell a couple a cigarettes."

Don't you hurry-worry with me…
