So my mama says singers shouldn’t smoke, Not sure why maybe it messes up the notes
Lately I’ve been living on the crumbs of my lungs Not surprised after all the songs I’ve sung
My grandfather lectures in a gifted book dedication Says “son go now and receive your education”
I can still remember the look in his eye at my graduation “Well done” he said “but now go sing the songs to be sung”
We're all searching for a cure If I gave you the finest care plus more I could save you
Well I never fail to disappoint.
Now I’m seeking forgiveness in a strip mall sanctuary
Pouring the wine all over my sunburn suburban body
Clear as the pale blue sky I spied a priest and a nun
Not surprised after all the songs I’ve sung
I feel Zen and at peace yet deal with anxieties
My sick sense of humor has got me on my knees
Lately I’ve been choken down my twisted tongue
Not surprised after all the songs I’ve sung
We're all searching for a cure
If I gave you the finest care plus more I could save you
Well I never fail to disappoint.
That old magician on the curb wants a minute of my time
Gunna try and bet me he can enlighten my mind
Smoke and mirrors can deceive like a drug
Not surprised after all the songs I’ve sung
Not surprised after all the songs I’ve sung
We're all searching for a cure
If I gave you the finest care plus more I could save you
Well I never fail to disappoint.
