radio man sells a pile of gold
government girl wants to rule the world
teenager and a first time whore meet this troubadour begging another pour
his manic episode is about to explode
racing to the finish line to slowly grow old
undertakers' such a goddamned bore for a troubadour begging another pour
he's down in the dumps, homeless looking for food
banker bought a mansion just to build empty rooms
I aided in a looting of a dollar store for a troubadour begging another pour
a troubadour begging another pour
give us a drunken melody
free us from daily monotony
the monkey on his back sings harmony
well we all hum a tune to hold on to
yeah we all hum a tune to hold on
I heard he’s working out and tryin to get dry
went to cathedral to confess he went high
charted a song and he’s starting to soar for a troubadour that begging another pour
whats that he's got there behind his back
why don’t you come share with the rest of the class
show and tell time like when we was four
for a troubadour begging another pour
a troubadour begging another pour
give us a drunken melody
free us from daily monotony
the monkey on his back sings harmony
well we all hum a tune to hold on to
yeah we all hum a tune to hold on
