If
she asks,
don't tell her that I'm living hand to mouth
Don't tell her I've been
sleeping on your couch
If she asks, just tell her that we
opened for the stones
It's her favorite band except for the
Ramones
If she happens to suggest a love
based on trust and respect
Tell her I've been wasted since last week
If she wants to stop on by
Tell her that I al most died
Tell her I ain't seen people yet
But see her she'll send cigarettes
If she
asks,
tell her about the bloodshed in the streets
The less she knows,
the less she can repeat
If she happens to bring up the cut
bricks and the throwing up
Tell her it's just part
of growing up
If she wants to get involved,
tell her to stay in
St.
Paul
Tell her I'm not up to taking calls,
ask her for some
Adderall
Now
Holly won't say hi to me,
cause I'm in love with my anxiety
If she asks, just tell her that
we're too far gone to deal
She should know exactly how that feels
If she wants a scene report,
don't tell her about the kitchen doors
Tell her we ain't even
keepin' score no more
If she wants to help the cause,
tell her we need sterile gauze
Tell her she should look
through all her medicine
And see if she's got chloroforms
Now
Solomon don't seem the same
He's skinny -skinned an
d off his game
He's been hiding from those gentlemen
With the same tattoos as
Gideon
