lyrics

There’s a dead preppie, dead preppie by the pool
Dead preppie dead preppie he looks so cool
Dead preppie, dead hippie, dead art fag or a punker
Dead serious, is this a joke?

There is a secret place
By the river, in the malls, in the halls in the cellar
The first lap in a race
And time becomes space

And you run home the ten miles home you run home

I don’t know much, I’m unknown
And I’m always lonely unless I’m alone
I’m a fabulist, a little prick and a ham
And all I want in this life is to not be who I am

Unsupervised

White, lazy, and ashamed of nothing, young, loud, and snotty
Jerusalem, Rome, and Ayurvayatti
Twin white elephants of my mind and my body
Dead serious, is that a joke?

I wrestle up front to see
By someone’s Big Gulp with Kahlua resting inside the horn
And space recedes into mythology
And I’m so glad I was born
And I’m so glad I was born
And space recedes into mythology

Today your love, tomorrow the world
