rick got stood up last night
so he went over to maria’s
wasn’t real sincere about it
just somebody to feel, yeah

cookie’s trying to roll a little
from the company till
she’ll get caught but get off fine
you just know she will

me, i’m juggling balls
in couples, threes, and fours
can’t remember who they’re attached to
just that they’re all bigger than yours

and this is a good step
it’s a real good move for me
uncork the champagne
order the finest prime
throw the roses
into the fire
into the air
roll over
on your back
in the bed and
feel the thorns i left there

we’re all getting nervous
about the company trust
basketball checks they write
you know it’s all about to bust

apart at the seams
like your old pair of jeans
that, like me, didn’t fit you anymore
you got fat and lazy and i got mean

five thirty’s comin’ round
dale’s buried, but she’ll be fine
she’ll forget it all once she’s home
her love soldier fucker keeps her in line

so learn a new step
at the club with my friends
knocking back shots
that never seem to end
throwing roses
into the fire
into the air
hitting the gas
running over
our lovers’ corpses
it seems only fair
