I was falling through the cracks, now I'm piling up bricks   I was clutching for straws, now I'm gonna take the fifth   I'm gonna say nothing but my name and that will even be fake   Ha! Why'd you think I came here in the first place?      Piss on the angel, tear down the Statue of Vance   Shove the hippies' didjeridoo up their ass   Take away their hackysacks, that's what I'm gonna do   Poison the reservoir and then, I'm gonna kiss you      Sitting on my porch staring at the lights of downtown   Someday we'll make it there, someday we'll burn it down   Instead of running the gauntlet, we'll walk hand in hand   All three blocks and then back again      Eat pecans in the shell, gonna walk around the lake   Sit in the sun and we're gonna eat grapes   And go to the Thomas Wolfe museum   When it's actually open      We were falling through the cracks, now we're starting a pit   We were clutching for straws, now we're gonna drink a fifth   And then drink a few beers and sleep a little bit   Up in my attic
