a mouthful of yesterday   is all thatÿs now left to say   and iÿm ever anxious to spit   or choke on it either way   on one hand itÿs off of my chest   the other will put it to rest   and so out of my misery   tell me which do you think is the best?   and right now I've got to   do something before it   gets any worse   you know we can't ignore it   I know just what you would say   it just works out good this way   so true to form you deny   the past that you're trying to hide   and cover with careful regard   the feelings your bravado belied   so shed yourself a new skin   yeah, one that's thicker again   put back on your moth-eaten mask   you know the one with the permanent grin
