You don't get it,
but don't sweat it,
Let me break it down
you see,
I stay up real late
get drunk with Fate
masterbate
like slugs on a date
I get broke down
telling jokes around town
and I go home alone
and I call Fate's phone
I spit prose when we pass
eat food off her plate
and I stay up real late
and I wait and I wait
and I wait for 'ol Fate
to give me a ring
and I fake everything,
you see,
I smoke cigarettes with rats
and break bats on my knee
I hang out late with fat cats
like a regular wanna be
white trash in my blood
side walks on my teeth
and I wait and I wait
and stay up till it's dawn
and it occurs to me that
this Fate of mine is down
underground, somewhere far gone.
