Well the shadows might slow down
Your lightning-fast eyes.
But don’t forget that one day
You’ll have your mother’s thighs.
And your daddy will not always
Make your bail.
So I guess that just this one night
You’re gonna have to spend the night in jail.
Well save your Hallmark sentiments
For those you pay to care
Like the ones who do your nails or
Shake your head or cut your hair.
'Cause your boyfriend will not always
Forgive you.
So I guess you’re gonna have to flip the gun
And decide who should shoot who.
Well the incredible overexcusers of our lives.
It’s remarkable the power to forgive lies.
Well I know you’ve poisoned
Every single good idea.
But I got just one more that
I’d like you to hear.
But will you take advice from
Someone who still loves you
When I know that you think that I’m the one
The bloody glove belongs to?
Well the incredible overexcusers of our lives.
It’s remarkable the power to forgive lies.
Well there’s a part of me that’s
Newly on the lookout.
But you’re the one who refuses
To pull the out.
You say you know the subtle secret sanctions
Of the drug handshake
But the hand that feeds the lion
Will be the first his hungry jaws will take.
Well the incredible overexcusers of our lives.
It’s remarkable the power to forgive lies.
Well the incredible overreceptors of bad vibes
Were the apologists for the apologists of our time.
