| I’ve done everything in my power to file down my claws
|
| White picket fence, cold showers cheap tricks get cheap applause
|
| I used to swim out with the mermaid but now I got a schedule to keep
|
| Yeah I could chase the mermaid but what if I got too deep
|
| I didn’t come to get hurt
|
| I came to get clean
|
| Tried to go it alone
|
| I got bored with the scene
|
| What’s a poor boy to do
|
| But share in the wealth
|
| I wanna lasso the moon
|
| Like Bathsheba saying treat yourself
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you treat yourself
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you
|
| Bathsheba saying
|
| So let’s kiss your daddy on his mouth and then we’ll total his car
|
| I wanna go see Erik Bachman play and blowtorch the bar
|
| I wanna swim out with the mermaid what’s the difference?
|
| I can’t sleep
|
| I’m gonna chase the mermaid and let her take me to the deep
|
| I didn’t come to get hurt
|
| I came to get clean
|
| I tried to sing on my own
|
| I get bored with the scene
|
| What’s a white boy to do
|
| Except to share in the guilt?
|
| I wanna lasso the moon
|
| Like Bathsheba saying treat yourself
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you treat yourself
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you
|
| Bathsheba saying
|
| Let’s not begin at the beginning it’s a boring place to start
|
| Don’t wanna sing no flannel whiskey songs and try to make them art
|
| I don’t need Bob Dylan’s blazer don’t need Jeff Tweedy’s hat
|
| Ain’t after pussy or cash baby I’m trimming the fat
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you, come on
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you
|
| Ain’t gonna treat you like you
|
| Bathsheba saying treat yourself |
