lyrics

My grandma thought I’d become a priest
She almost lived to a hundred and three
It doesn’t matter how it ends
Or how your song begins

For twenty bucks I bought a used zabuton
My legs are crossed for the win
But I’m always playing games
In the street or Middle Way

I bet you five dollars I could lose five dollars quick
It brings me back to zero, but I’m getting used to it

I try my Yoko shirt then my Titties ‘N’ Beer shirt
I put ‘em back where they were I’m late for work

When you get serious I run like a stupid kid
And hide out as a lump in some curtain
I’m so sorry I caused you pain
I’ll never do that again

I bet you five dollars I could lose five dollars quick
I’m the worst friend in your life, but I’m getting used to it

I don’t wanna make a scene
Maybe something in between

I’m at the Zappa’s house - Diva and I were teens
Dweezil’s on the couch eating Chinese food and riffing
Kinda sounds like a strange dream
But L.A.’s got everything yeah

I bet you five dollars I could lose five dollars quick
It’s the best day of my life
Holy shit
