about

Sometimes it's fun not to be yourself. You don't even need a costume to do it.

lyrics

On Halloween I ran across a black cat
A stroke of bad luck in my path
And I spent it watching the upper class lighten their pockets
I haven't taken my pills but I've been doing lots of other drugs that I can't afford
And I could blame it on post traumatic stress but it's probably because I'm bored
But as I was coming down from the rocks you were kicking them
Climbing down from the ladder you walked under it
Another seven years I can handle this

And sometimes I like to look up at the starts and let the white light drown out the rattle of the boxcars
Knowing I'll never cross this point again in the stream of time
In Texas we wandered and snuck into the orange show
Lit a fire and got lost in the warm glow
And on the Mississippi you said you'd really miss me
And I have to say I agree
I will miss me

I wrote a note and it had four letters
Told myself that I would forget her
It didn't send, I didn't care
In Atlanta I almost forgot what happened in Vegas
So close to death I think I'm gonna make it
But tomorrow is day of the dead, I feel halfway there

And sometimes I like to look up at the starts and let the white light drown out the rattle of the boxcars
Knowing I'll never cross this point again in the stream of time
In Texas we wandered and snuck into the orange show
Lit a fire and got lost in the warm glow
And on the Mississippi you said you'd really miss me
And I have to say I agree
I will miss me

We all live under the docks of New Orleans the docks of New Orleans the docks of New Orleans
We all live off of coffee rice and beans coffee rice and beans coffee rice and beans
