my friend's band   is better than mine but no one goes   to see him play   they go to watch him half the time    but stay until it gets too late   some are fun and some are fine   and some you shouldn't have to pay,   but mostly what they do for me...   let's say the purpose is you've already promised yourself   say that it's all just a matter of personal health   call it a letter delivered by somebody else   caught there you stand with your hands shaking like shifting land.   but mostly what they do for me...   just for starters i don't like you corner yourself   and it's not just the way that you dust off the books on your shelf   you can call it a work or a lyric a statement of hell,   string your demands out and sink in a scene filled with sand.   it's mostly what they do for me.
