lyrics

SOME PEOPLE FEEL PAIN FROM TAXES
OR MAYBE THEIR RICH IN-LAWS
I GET MY PAIN FROM LACK OF SATISFACTION
MY LIFE IS IN AN UPROAR
RESTING ON MY LAURELS JUST MAKES MY ASS SORE

I MADE IT OVER THE HILL
I MADE IT PAST THE BIG BOYS
I STILL HAVEN'T REACHED MY PEAK THIS WEEK
BUT MY CALENDAR IS GETTING FILLED
THE POSSIBILITIES JUST GIVE ME THE CHILLS

THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT TO THE END
IS MAKING ALL MY ENEMIES MY FRIENDS

*MY LOVE IS JUST LIKE A BLOW TORCH
INCINERATING ALL THE LOVE AT MY DOOR
I DON'T WASTE TIME ON FAIR-WEATHER FRIENDS ANYMORE
YOUR LOVE IS JUST LIKE A POWDERKEG
MY HEART'S BEEN JUST SET AFLAME
I'M BURNING IT UP ALL OVER AGAIN
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO JUST LET A GOOD FIRE END

I LIKE TO PASS TIME EASY
BUT THERE'S SOME ROADS I'VE BEEN DOWN
WHERE I COULD STEP OFF OF THAT BEATEN PATH
AND DISAPPEAR WITHOUT A SOUND
AND BE FOUND WHEN I WANTED TO BE FOUND

I'VE GOT GOOD FRIENDS IN SUCH HIGH PLACES
I'VE KEPT THE BAD ONES WAY DOWN LOW
YOU AND ME CAN CATCH UP NEXT WEEK
JUST SET A DATE AND I WON'T SHOW
IF YOU HAD A PARTY I WOULDN'T GO

THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME
IS LEAVING ALL THOSE MEMORIES BEHIND
