| He shaved his head at the airport
|
| In a bar at the end of the concourse.
|
| He said you’re kind of catching me at a transitional time.
|
| I’m a bright light burning into a dark horse.
|
| She said I’ll strap on the saddle.
|
| And I’m sorry but this city’s a cesspool.
|
| I’ve kissed and I’ve cackled with half of these jackals.
|
| Still couldn’t get any jet fuel.
|
| Walked her out to the taxis. |
| Took her out to some parties.
|
| Found a man with a handful huddled over some car keys.
|
| It doesn’t have to be pure. |
| It doesn’t have to be perfect.
|
| Just sort of has to be worth it.
|
| A Residence Inn at the top of the exit.
|
| You pay the admission and here’s what you get.
|
| The stench of death in the credits.
|
| The montage set to the time of your life.
|
| A shot in the dark in a bar that’s too bright.
|
| A window sucking up all the available light, right?
|
| And a clock on the bed stand with a cord to connect it.
|
| Liberty and Justice into Master of Puppets.
|
| Rolling off of the mattress. |
| Waking up on the carpet.
|
| It shouldn’t have to be perfect.
|
| He said he can’t read the paper. |
| It’s not worth the trouble.
|
| Finds out about funerals from the blasts of the bugles.
|
| Wherever he goes he always orders the usual.
|
| He likes to see what they’ll bring him.
|
| In five hours on the carpet
|
| He visits six different planets.
|
| On a spaceship shaped like a Gibson Marauder
|
| The pilot kinda looked like Kirk Hammett.
|
| While he was floating in space that chick took his wallet.
|
| Wasn’t really a date. |
| Wasn’t sure what to call it.
|
| That same stupid feeling but he likes his new haircut.
|
| It doesn’t have to be pure.
|
| It doesn’t have to be perfect.
|
| Just sort of has to be worth it. |
