Never Been Good At That

I got mad at myself today
I found out I can’t dance for jack
Been wearin’ out all my shoes just workin’ on moves
and rhythm but I never been good at that
My pockets are full of holes
where my money once used to be at
I oughta be better at managing my finances but I never been good at that
So I was planning a new invention that would take away all my blues
But I sold the blueprint for some money to buy myself some shoes
I am the mechanical wind up man
I keep going as far as I can
I don’t know when I should stop
I guess I’ll go until I drop
The sunny day rain comes down
cuz’ the devil’s been beatin’ his wife
Someday that woman oughta have that man arrested but she’s never been good at that
So Persephone waits her season
And I can wait my time, too
I’m soakin’ my two left feet ‘til I can figure out what to do
I am the mechanical wind up man
I keep going as far as I can
I don’t know when I should stop
I guess I’ll go until I drop
Voices fill my head like morning fog
that’s my internal dialogue
One says I’ve got one chance in three
One says I am my enemy
One says I ought to hang up my gloves
One says to change my pushes to shoves
Lots of opinions, lots of advice
But I’ve already bet and rolled the dice
I am the mechanical wind up man
I keep going as far as I can
I don’t know when I should stop
I guess I’ll go until I drop
It’s alright I’m feelin’ good
wheels and parts are workin’ just like they should
I am the mechanical wind up man
I keep going as far as I can

I am the most evil person on the face of the earth
though I looked like a sweet baby on the day of my birth
My people taught me some goodness so I know what that’s worth
Tonight I’ll sell it all and unlock my potential
Nobody on Facebook ever had so few friends as me
The day I posted all the wicked things I wanted to be
A lady’s dream come true
Unless that lady is you
‘Cause I got no self-control
And I got thorns in my soul
I am the most evil person on the face of the earth
though I looked like a sweet baby on the day of my birth
My people taught me some goodness so I know what that’s worth
Tonight I’ll sell it all and unlock my potential
Out from his hiding place
That kid who wants to fly
The haunted old castle that he once fell into
By mistake and on purpose
But his blowhard companion’s been there since his fall
Spoiling attempts to fly over the wall
I’m gonna feed my bloated guts until they explode
My pride is Babel Tower-high and full of seeds that I sowed
You know I want what you got
Don’t make me angry I’m not
A man that you can count on to be kind and gentle (No!)
I am the most evil person on the face of the earth
though I looked like a sweet baby on the day of my birth
My daddy and my mama raised me right
But I think I’m gonna jettison my birthright
Tonight I’ll sell it all and unlock my potential
It’s what I wanted
But I don’t know what I want
I only do what I don’t what
What is the matter with me?
I am the most evil person on the face of the earth
though I looked like a sweet baby on the day of my birth
My people taught me some goodness so I know what that’s worth
Tonight I’ll sell it all and unlock my potential
Out from his hiding place
That kid who wants to fly
The haunted old castle that he once fell into
By mistake and on purpose
He launches, he’s outward, yet wanting to fall
Determined he stays to fly over the wall
Rising high on love’s sweet fire
On forever rising higher

Jack-O'-Lantern Style
03:40
|

Reminiscent of the youth
That heard his heyday call
So unbalanced, luckily
Ego breaks the fall
Maybe not do that anymore
You’re no longer a child
Still, you know me and hubris tend to disagree
once in awhile
Light me up in jack-o’-lantern style
Waiting at the corner store
For the light to change
Jaywalking with groceries
Dodging bullet trains
Racing most impatiently now
A restless rank and file
Still, you know me and hubris tend to disagree
once in awhile
Carve me up in jack-o’-lantern style
Am I truly gutless?
Do you wanna know the scoop?
I’m on display and glowing
And snaggle-toothed
Inner-weekend warrior
He never outgrew
Sometimes acts invincible
Ropes a harvest moon
Not quite a Mr. Self-Destruct
Living in denial
Still, you know me and hubris tend to disagree
once in awhile (just once so every often)
Smash me up in jack-o’-lantern style
Light me up in jack-o’-lantern style
Carve me up in jack-o’-lantern style
Smash me up in jack-o’-lantern style
