"Absolutely Necessary Never" lyrics

"Absolutely Necessary Never"

Never been quite what I meant to
I don't really expect to
But God, I want to build you a castle
Oh God, I want to save you the trouble

Opening your mouth's a disaster
It doesn't matter if you were or weren't plastered
And I'm drinking all the blood from my shadow
Drinking all the blood from my shadow

Absolutely necessary never
Absolutely necessary never
Absolutely necessary, maybe
Absolutely necessary, maybe

Lay over in Denver, Colorado
They say that there's another underneath there
Blank shells in a shotgun
Accidentally fired, oh, I think I may have got one!
And I killed, I killed my own shadow
And I killed, I killed my own shadow

Absolutely necessary, maybe
Absolutely necessary, maybe
Absolutely necessary, maybe sometimes
Absolutely necessary never, sometimes
Absolutely necessary, maybe
Absolutely necessary, maybe

What does it all mean?
Do ya get high on your own low self-esteem?
Did you fall on your own only dream
And crush it until it was all broke?
Good goddamn, what a hassle
I stand in line, I'm a king at White Castle
And I'm waiting to go home
Yeah, I'm waiting just to get to go home

Absolutely necessary, maybe
Absolutely necessary, maybe
Absolutely necessary never
Approach to be beyond reproach
Absolutely necessary, maybe
Absolutely necessary, maybe sometimes, or
Absolutely necessary never, sometimes
Absolutely necessary, maybe
