Open my eyes, it’s 6:58
I’ve got a little over an hour to live it up before you wake
Put Tretinoin on my toothbrush and Colgate on my face
I guess it’s gonna be that kind of day
Listening to The Sunset Tree dangerously loud on repeat
Doing my best to become deaf by seventeen
I had a dream your screams were Israel’s trumpets
And I was the wall of Jericho
I crumbled with a single blow
Open your eyes promptly at 8:00
With a skull-splitting migraine and a face-mеlting hate
You put bourbon in your coffee and bacon on your plate
I guess it’s gonna bе that kind of day
Watching the local news, all the tragedies repeat
You recognize the same b-roll they aired last week
I had a dream that you were inside the ark of the covenant
And I was Indiana Jones
You turned the n#z#s into bones
Like the acid rain
That creeps through the long neglected faults in our window pane
The same blood that sits in your fists like a stagnant puddle is crawling through my veins
I can’t escape
Out here in Broome County
In the bowels of the Valley of Opportunity
You haven’t held a job since…um, well
I’m not really sure you ever had a job
I might not stand up to you
But I keep a packed duffel bag in my car
And I might not ever leave you
But I sure know what you are
To tell you the truth, every sip you take
Turns you more and more into a great disgusting ape
You’ll have a headache in the morning
I will be blamed for it
But that’s okay
That’s okay
To tell you the truth, every sip you take
Turns you more and more into a big repulsive ape
A fifth of whiskey and you’ll faint
And I’ll drag you to your cage
But that’s okay
That’s okay
If I stay in this godforsaken house for one more day
I’m afraid that I’ll end up like Vina Fay Wray
If I had my way it would have been you
Who was gunned down in a pit at the Cincinnati Zoo
I’m going to the Congo
And I won’t be back soon
I won’t be back soon
