"Bukowski" lyrics

"Bukowski"

I've been walking on the railroad
She's been circling the half-pipe
I think I'm an intellectual, I mean
I've read Bukowski once or twice
Like summer that you spend too fast
I've been working on my hindsight
And I think she might really like me, I mean
Let's hope this horoscope is right

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Why don't you spend the night
So I don't hate myself tomorrow?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I never read the endings of those books
You let me borrow

I've been spending too much time by myself
Googling Tylenol and upset stomachs
Lurking on my phone and internet when
Really I should be on La Playa
She's a hunter and I'm not that fast, and
I can only fly away from hopeful thoughts at
Half speed, with a broken wing, she's
Laying on the couch and I've got nothing

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Why don't you spend the night
So I don't hate myself tomorrow?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I never read the endings of those books
You let me borrow

I was living life, you were watching TV
And these reality shows are not important to me
You won't answer my call but you're online as fuck
And like Morrissey said, "Hit me with a ten ton truck"

I'll ascend to the top of self-pity mountain
And I'm the leader of the troupe, these regrets I'm counting
You're numbers one through ten, I'm half to blame so alright
Let me amend, you're only one through five

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Why don't you spend the night
So I can hate myself tomorrow?
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I never read the endings of those books
You let me borrow
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
But now I see the light
So I can save myself from sorrow
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
It's time I read the endings
Of those books you let me borrow
