A Memoir

from Lanterns by Moonraker

/

lyrics

Big dreams? Big deal.
Stop being polite and start getting real...ly
really really really really disenchanted,
almost like I planned it.

Big plans? Big problems.
Just slam in my Dragula and smoke em if you got em.
They won't see us coughing with the windows tinted.
Big dreams? Big fucking disappointment.

Grease me up, let me spin.
Pull out my teeth to sink yours in.
Just let me float here with all the other cogs and gears.
Or hand me a wrench, and lend me your ears.

My life is:

Temp jobs and jumper cables,
two-way mirrors and conference tables.
Ruined orders and focus groups,
sharpened fangs and botched interviews.
Just take me to the lake near where Matt rents out boats,
light your arrowheads and aim while I float.
Light your arrowheads and aim for my boat.

Utter failure by day, but at night:
empty 40s, worn down 45s.
If you stayed up with me tonight, hours after midnight you might find:
life's pretty alright sometimes.

Grease me up, let me spin.
My head's like an anchor, my hat's like a shark's fin.
I might get hooked time to time, but I'll never be reeled!
Big trouble? Yeah, big fucking deal.
