im haunted by the ghost of the girl i used to be

Dec 18, 2006 19:06

the beer i had for breakfast was a bottle of mad dog
and my 20/20 vision was 50% off
you said punch-buggy red and punched me right in my left eye
i said "dont you mean pididdle?" and i lit his house on fire

he came home on acid i was holding his shotgun
i was dressed like tina turner in beyond thunder dome
he said 'dont shoot', i said 'i wont, i love you, you're my friend'
i handed him my wig and shot myself in the head
then i stuffed a box of tissues in the hole in my skull
i got in my mazda and i drove to the mall
i bought a big johnson shirt and some silicone tits
when i pulled out the tissues they were covered in shit

and the beer i had for breakfast was a box of cheap white wine
and the boom box on my shoulder was a box of clementines
i ate every single one without noticing the mold
you said 'you're gross my darling', i said 'no i'm rock n roll'
even though ive never ever been in a band
i got cool as black ice tattooed on my hand
and the christians gave me comics books as if i would be scared
of burning in hell- well i was already there

and the beer i had for breakfast, silver bullet in the brain
and the beer i had for lunch was a bottle of night train
and the beer i had for dinner was my crazy neighbor's pills
we had to sit down on skateboards just to make it down the hill

...
when i got back to the apartment you were facedown on the floor
you said dont go to bed yet let's go get a 64
and the beer i had for breakfast was a pint of jim beam
and a fifth of peach schnapps and some warm sunny d

and you said bottoms up just as i bottomed out
i tried to scream 'fuck you' but blood was pouring out my mouth
...
you can be a teenager for your whole fucking life
just find some pretty sucker and make that bitch your wife

i guess by now you all know my friend danny broke his neck
he was driving home from sirens when he got into a wreck
first i cried for him and then i cried for me
haunted by the ghost of the girl i used to be
but the rocks with holes are warm in my hands
and i buried my toes in the hot hot sand
and the silver pink pony kisses me and says
"you've come a long long way and you deserve to be
really happy"
