lyrics

Incense sentimental resistance, you're living it up now, going down the memory hole. See if I care. Token taxi driver, a distant friend unlisted, holding up the wall.

Why don't you write another poem all about this trainwreck you call your life? And why don't you have another drink while we hold the elevator door for you? And hey, do you think it's true what they say about the rain--it won't let up until you explain to me again all about your morning from getting up?

Fifty thousand tourists in seven hours bumper to bumper, winding down the daze. See if I care. Fortress homestead harvest, a solar flare. Community service. Ice cream on the floor.

Maybe you should write another screenplay all about your family, but change the names. Maybe you could even invent a part for you--yeah, that'd be rich. Cuz motherfuckers always believe everything you tell them, I'm telling you. So go on, girl, tell me once again all about this story you're editing.

See if I care. See if I care. See if I care.
