You told me you're an orphan   The same old standard line   Then when we moved in together   All you did was moan and cry   Talkin' like you'd make it   On life's big movie screen   I had to say I loved you   Just to try and keep the peace      Hustler   What are you doin' with your time   I'm slow to catch on   But I think you wasted mine   You're running low tonight   Jack up and get it right   You know you're going down   Ain't it good to be alive   Ain't it good to be alive   So good to be alive      I couldn't make excuses    about everything you said   You wanna show your bruises   Let's throw a party for the band   Now here they come a dancin'   Like the powder to your nose   Why don't you cut your head off   Spite your face let's do the show      Tearing at the membrane   Of the first new thing in years   Found a nagging consolation   In a glass of Everclear   And the ugly truth has raped you   They're saying you're a lousy lay   But isn't everything that way
