Gary tell me why the leaves on the trees   Are falling this early as the spring   Why the leaves on the trees that are falling on us   Are like the words to the song   I've lived my whole life to sing      If you swim too much you'll drown      If we sit here and drink enough beer   We'll be two inflatable dolls in a hooker's bad dream   When the storm reaches us we'll be two blind drunks   Who've absorbed through the skin   A whole lifetime of kerosene      If you drink too much you will dream   And the shame of my life is watching you      Gary, I think we've worn out our welcome   They're waiting for us to leave   Gary, they've got a new kind of person   A newer, stronger, cleaner breed      And I think I just came in my pants   Oh baby do you want to dance      Everything collapses here, slow motion   And the roots of the dance and the stain in my pants   Are beyond any small man's conception      If you drink too much you will drown   And the shame of my life is watching you drown
