lyrics

Michael and I fled to the ocean
It was raining
That didn’t stop us from getting wet
Waves crash over my body like a car crash
He looked at me like I was some robin in a birdbath
But if anything I am more like the crow
Scavenging week-old fries down at the 33rd Texaco
And when I’m pulling myself out of the dumpster again
I will see Michael running off to his next luncheon

I can’t save you
And I sure as hell can’t save myself
Advanced state of decay
Is just another thing to argue about

Then I’m stuck in Division’s packed Medicaid office
Eating oranges and smelling of cigarettes
Wrung out dry in a city of moss
We like our books as red as the national debt
And the guard is suspicious as he fondles his gun
He is a trigger-happy, Proud Boy, God-sent Prodigal son
Thinks I’m a fly on the wall, or just some bitch over there
But I am as sore as a thumb, I am his worst nightmare

I can’t save you
And I sure as hell can’t save myself
Advanced state of decay
Is just another thing to argue about
But it’s okay to let you expectations down
Advanced state of decay
Is just another thing to talk about

You don’t like what you see
Forgive me, forgive me
Can’t tell your feelings
Forgive me, Forgive me
You don’t like what you see
Forgive me, forgive me
Can’t tell your feelings
Forgive me

And I can’t save you
And I sure as hell can’t save myself
Advanced state of decay
Is just another thing to argue about
Guess it’s okay to let my expectations down
Advanced state of decay
Is just another thing to talk about (x2)
Is just another thing to go on about
