VERSE 1 Old man speaks the truth No one listens at his
door You see he's drunk and hard of hearing Not a grown-up
anymore
He tells me don't be gettin sinful 'Less you think you might
get nailed Because the only satisfying thing Is trying
'til you've failed
CHORUS Hey there little lady You've been giving up too
soon What about your childhood dreams Of shootin craps up
on the moon
VERSE 2 Goin down a darkened path Can't see my hands or
feet I'm like some disembodied spirit Make my living
sellin sheets
I gotta get outside my tight skin Gotta leave it all behind I'll
will my body to ya just let me keep What's left of my mind
CHORUS Hey there little lady You've been sounding like a
loon Put down your sugar flakes and join me Shootin craps
up on the moon
VERSE 3 Monday morning I be brain-dead Tuesday they bury
me By the time I get to Wednesday I'm as moldy as can be
They say that Thursday you can see the shine Of Friday
evening lights The neon of another tavern And the smell of
Saturday fights
CHORUS But me I don't see nothin Just a dusty bag and
spoon A real bad imitation not like Shootin craps up on
the moon |
