"The Celibate Life" lyrics
"The Celibate Life"
The dust from a four-day affair is now landing
All over the floor and your brown legs
The gold plated legs of my rival
Whose eyes had no reason to fall
You led no celibate life no skirt while chemicals danced on your head
You stole the keys to this ride and your fables are falling tonight
Because of your struggle to make them
Their taste for your past time is fading
Remember the girls in the middle are always the first to fall off
You'll learn to live like a mouse
Searching the cracks in the floor to remember
All the dregs in the crowd you barely recall
You led no celibate life no skirt while chemicals danced on your head
You stole the keys to this ride and your fables are falling tonight
Thanks to Marcus for correcting these lyrics.

Matt & Kim - "Let's Go" I was up in my head
For everything I said
Quarter million words
They're all made with lead
I bought a megaphone
To use inside your home
Forgot the batteries
But that's the old me
Shouting out of my...
My Morning Jacket - "Tyrone" I'm getting tired of your shit
You don't ever buy me nothing
See every time you come around
You gotta bring Jim James, Paul and Tyrone
See, why can we be by ourselves sometime?
