lyrics
No, I can’t say I have ever really qualified
As an innocent man, by any stretch of the imagination
And yes, I’ve been known
To make my bed upon the floor
But I don’t think your very vivid descriptions
Are a particularly accurate characterization
Of just how old I am
Or just how immature
No, this don’t seem to work for me, honey
And I’m howling like a mad man from the roof
But I got me a different kind of alchemy, baby
Living on tequila and cheesy poofs
Well I can’t seem to find my invitation
But I’m famous, don’t you recognize my face
I thought I’d built a nasty reputation
But it seems that I have come to the wrong place
Well life may be understood backwards but it
Must be lived forwards and it ain’t but a high parody
To assume it all amounts
To anything other than luck
And while we’ll all certainly be subject to the
Inevitably condescension of a cruel and savage posterity
I won’t be around
So I don’t give a fuck
No, this don’t seem to work for me, honey
And I’m howling like a mad man from the roof
But I got me a different kind of alchemy, baby
Living on tequila and cheesy poofs
Well I can’t seem to find my invitation
But I’m famous, don’t you recognize my face
I thought I’d built a nasty reputation
But it seems that I have come to the wrong place
As an innocent man, by any stretch of the imagination
And yes, I’ve been known
To make my bed upon the floor
But I don’t think your very vivid descriptions
Are a particularly accurate characterization
Of just how old I am
Or just how immature
No, this don’t seem to work for me, honey
And I’m howling like a mad man from the roof
But I got me a different kind of alchemy, baby
Living on tequila and cheesy poofs
Well I can’t seem to find my invitation
But I’m famous, don’t you recognize my face
I thought I’d built a nasty reputation
But it seems that I have come to the wrong place
Well life may be understood backwards but it
Must be lived forwards and it ain’t but a high parody
To assume it all amounts
To anything other than luck
And while we’ll all certainly be subject to the
Inevitably condescension of a cruel and savage posterity
I won’t be around
So I don’t give a fuck
No, this don’t seem to work for me, honey
And I’m howling like a mad man from the roof
But I got me a different kind of alchemy, baby
Living on tequila and cheesy poofs
Well I can’t seem to find my invitation
But I’m famous, don’t you recognize my face
I thought I’d built a nasty reputation
But it seems that I have come to the wrong place
