lyrics

He was stuck out in the rain
Hands on his hips
Knows better than to try and explain
Why he was late for class or why he wasn’t in P.E.
Virginia Slim cigarette hanging from his lip
His hairlines caused a lot of head aches lately
You’ve come a long way baby
On the corner at the Barnes and Noble on West 86th
Reads Vonnegut, hands on his hips
Raises the collar on his whole damn persona
That whole wouldn’t you like to know why I don’t wanna get to know ya
A girl once told him he’d look sexier if he pushed his hair back
Waiting for a lift in the shop window he pushes his hair back
Glitter in the water, flairs in his jeans
He watches an older man flirt with a young cashier he hates when middle aged men flirt with young cashiers he hates when older men flirt with middle aged cashiers
He could look straight but he’d rather look down walks across town
He could be quiet but he’d rather be a bore loudly
you’ve seen him around

Billy Blouse

What a stupid way to spend 5th period driving on a John Deere with a Schlitz about to drop out of a too short coat pocket
He heard Crystal liked to get high so he offered her some grass and she just said, "gross!" and like closed her locker and laughed at him
He had just smoked all of it alone and was trying to get someone to play air hockey with him but the machine wouldn’t take his bicentennial quarters
When he walked past the nuns they smiled at him and he hiked his jeans up so his ass would look better and he put some Bubble Tape in his mouth and he chewed while he looked up at the windows in the glass buildings you now how the clouds show off inside them and the building doesn’t end
Why’s it so hard to ask for help
Why does your mother hates your father and your father hates himself
It’s so hard for him to do whats right sometimes
When you know it doesn’t matter whats the use in trying
Your mind runs so fast it just goes away and theres no one left around you but yeah someone to go down on you and theres no one to go down on you, theres no food in the house someone to look down on you better take it easy around here or you’ll run out

Billy Blouse

Whatcha gonna do that dude stepped on your Air Forces?

Look at the clock its a plan of action
The hours break left and the minutes look down the field
Stand on the top of their middle linebacker
Still couldn’t tell which end was the end for real
