lyrics

How's the old town drunk, how you like me now
I came into my own but you never came around
and where's that joker's arm he's had you wearing like a noose
those cuts along your neck plead you've got to cut him loose
catch a streetcar south, a few more blocks
it's always raining, kind of feel like changing my mind
if not for a couple of people counting on me tonight
did you step down son, swallowing your pride
fighting tooth and nail to fuck the finish line
though every waste of skin, we still wonder how you're doin'
we're just a pack of wolves howling at the moon
another scraped lifeline, in the rough
and mind your own damn business
if you don't feel helpless, power puff
I'm still thinking clear enough
and whether or not the coast is clearer than the path
depends on when you look, depends on who you ask
so ask the old town drunk, bet he's still writing all the hits
shaking in his shoes, poor bastard's getting blitzed
let's tamper with our serotonin, backyard baseball
I'm considering stealing home cause you're the cop and i'm the robber
hop the chain link fence, don't pull the plug
on backyard baseball
