It's poison, first it feels like a prick and then it hits you like a jumbo jet. It's heaven, and heaven is a place you can never find your cigarettes. For Boston, shamrock shakes and Oxycontin. Bob Cousy, when they say they're looking around for the O.C. th...

A knockoff necktie The way he wore it made it look more like a tourniquet I looked deep in his eyes I saw Lynn, Massachussetts She hung a sleeveless dress up on a sleeved up lifestyle Girl you gotta cover that He was gushing blood from wide open wounds...

All your favorite movies. They ain't all that funny. If you ain't that high. And I ain't that high. All your favorite books. They wouldn't seem so well written if you were just a little bit more well read. Jack kerouac is dead. He drank himself to death...

I was not involved up at the Northtown mall As a matter of fact I didn't even know that that's where it happened I was France Ave when they came out dancing, I was Lyndale South, I was kicking it with cousins We were talking about going clubbing but instead...

Her parents named her Hallelujah, the kids all called her Holly And if she scared you then she's sorry, she's been stranded at these parties These parties they start lovely But they get druggy and they get ugly and they get bloody The priest just kinda la...

Jessie, I'm not joking around I see the crowd you're hanging with and those kids don't seem positive Don't all the cigs make you tired? You know I'd never ask you to change, I'll only ask you to try I know you're gonna do what I know you're gonna do But...

They used to think it was so cute when she said Dy'er Mak'er All the boys knew it was a joke about Jamaica She'd always find a ride back home from the bar She used to feel so stupid when they'd talk about the music Born into every single tune They used t...

I've been trying to get people to call me Freddy Knuckles People keep calling me Right Said Fred And it's hard to keep trying when half your friends are dying And it's hard to hold it steady when half your friends are dead already We got taxmen coming aro...

Lord, I'm discouraged The circles have sucked in her eyes Lord, I'm discouraged Her new friends have shadowed her life Lord, I'm discouraged She ain't come out dancing for some time And I'm trying to light candles But they burn down to nothing And she...

She's always funny in the morning She isn't always funny in the night Once she gets a couple drinks in, she's probably gonna tell you you ain't doing anything right Then you'll roll your eyes and then you'll probably fight She mainly trades in adoration...

The guys were feeling good about their liquor run The girls were kinda flirting with the setting sun We all kinda fumbled through the Jitterbug We were all powered up on some new upper drug Everyone was funny and everyone was pretty And everyone was comi...

The gin was just like gideon. The kings were just like solomon. The bashes were like babylon. The jester kept on jacking off. Nervous cough, nervous cough, nervous cough and now we're off. Went down on the denver slums and she woke up in the rocky mountai...

I can't believe I was worried about hurting you. I should have kicked it with your cousin when I had the opportunity. I was at some party and she said she had to talk to me and then she didn't say anything. I can't believe I worried about hurting you while...
