lyrics
Oh, here comes trouble
He struts with a swagger
That looks like he lives for his tool
He's looking your way
Yes, he's traveled this distance
To ask you to drink 'til you drool
He tries hard to smile
But his teeth crack and crumble
His face falls to pieces
He stands there to speak
And the words start to tumble
His jawbone releases
His words are all hollow like lies
But you know that he thinks you believe that they're true
You can't bear to look in his eyes
Because there's nothing looking back at you.
He tells you it's love
He wouldn't know that emotion
If it came up and pissed upon him
Says he'll pay for your drinks
And when morning has risen
You can watch him work out at the gym
You block out the sound
Because it's more than annoying,
It's mildly insulting
He can't sense your reaction
But he shuts his mouth randomly
There's a silence resulting
His gaze wanders off of your face
And it stops right below where your neck begins
You know that his head's filled with space
And his vacuousness is the least of his sins
His eyes bulge
Bursting with vanity
And bitterness
The world that he sees
Is filled with nonentities
A desolate wilderness
He's looking your way
And you're staring right back
This he hadn't expected
He can't look at you straight
All his words were mistaken
His mind misdirected
You're looking for something to say
But it can't be said politely
Not to gaze on a sight so unsightly.
