lyrics

This one goes out to a girl I know
Two drinks, she drops like a domino
You'll see her out dressed from head to toe
Like some odd flamingo
How little the time it takes
To wrap her hand 'round a famous snake

She's got a tan and an arts degree
I don't know why she hangs out with me
She says that I wanna spread my seed
But she's wrong, so wrong
Now the pile that we're sleeping in
Looks like a leopard has shed it's skin

Calamity calamity
I know there's not a lot to talk about until we gather speed

This one goes out to a dude I know
He lives his life like a TV show
And I'm gonna need the remote control
When he's on, good god
But I call this eager friend
Cause it's a means to a hazy end

You wanna see where the rabbit hole leads?
You wanna feel all the possible speeds?
You wanna see all these animals eat their friends?
If theres a prize for the people I see
Ill trade my eyes for a penny a piece
Don't care to see how this "hell-of-a-story" ends
