Since we are sinking I have been thinking When you drown Your body should float If I could just hold on A little longer than you can I’ll use your body to float Oh Oh Oh Oh….. Why would I hunt? When I can sneak off with your lunch And blame it on Those god damn ghosts Cause I am suspicious That one day I’ll look delicious But you’ll be too weak for me Oh oh oh oh… I walked through philly And the garden state I asked every girl But couldn’t find a date When I hold a baby It’ll howl at me And the dogs They always growl at me A COMPLETE STRANGER TOOK A SHOT AT ME MISSED BY AN INCH I WAS SO LUCKY SO NOW WHEN HELP IS EVER ASKED OF ME I DO NOTHING

Spicket 03:23
My chest is hairy, I guess now i'm all grown up I find it scary how a late night can be so rough I can't remember the last time I climbed a tree And just talking to the babes was a lot harder than I thought it'd be But I got lucky, I found one that tolerates me And I guess that in the end... that's the way love's supposed to be When I look at the scar, where I broke my arm I wonder... when's the last time that I did anything dangerous? Chorus: Take a sip Take it right from the spicket And you wipe yourself clean With the back of your hand You want out But you're right in the thick of it It'd be better to make a change now I used to be in awe of the ducks on the water I wouldn't notice em' now if not for my daughter If I wasn't sleeping, then I was outside Pretending I was Lord Vader and choking the neighbor's kids

Pennies on the bar stool He’s leveling it He ain’t ashamed, Just an honest soul Crustacean backed As he picks up the slack Other fools take credit for their own Oh sometimes he feels he’s all alone In a place I guess he’ll call it home What he means, he ain’t missin’ you What? You wanted absinthe? He’ll smuggle it in He leaves no trail Makes no presence known He caught it on the wrist, Watch he’ll break and break hold Of the worries of the working man As he came in from a foreign land He’s got two, but got some stubby hands But he don’t need you And heeeeeeeeee Explores on his own Says the less he finds The less he knows And youuuuuuuuu Might spot him beside the road Where he walks? He says he’s walking home Sitting at the back step He’s pondering it He wastes no time How could he let it go? He’s looking for… then snap, trap Got nowhere to go He’s a servant of the working man As he came in from a foreign land He’s got two, but got some stubby hands But he don’t need you And heeeeeeeeee Explores on his own Says the less he finds The less he knows And youuuuuuuuu Might spot him beside the road Where he walks? He says he’s walking home Sitting at the back step He’s pondering it He wastes no time How could he let it go? He’s looking for… then snap, trap Got nowhere to go He’s a servant of the working man As he came in from a foreign land He’s got two, but got some stubby hands But he don’t need you Oh no and he Where he walks Says he’s walking home, home, Ohhhh yeaaaaah says he’s walking home
