Manic Candy Dream

What can I say?
this world's made me crazy
I keep talking love
like anyone could save me
I'm too broke for pennies
but I got stale cigarettes
I'll choke down, sick as shit
and then sound like death

I'm the joker card
but I play the queen
distorted perspective
and self esteem
I'm an adult child 1990's

so I got a wig on
and big round glasses
I'll go dancing somewhere
where girls shake their asses
I'll talk to all the ones
I think you'd be talking to
feel good when they leave with me
instead of meeting you

I hear sad sells
and it's real good thing
I'm fucking sad as hell
I'm the reigning king
it's the one thing
you couldn't take from me

I'm the joker card
but I play the queen
distorted perspective
and self esteem
I'm an adult child 1990's

Fuck your rock n roll
I'll do you one better
play you a black and white movie
put your finger in a shredder
cause I don't want to talk you
but you don't get the picture

did you know Ernest Hemingway
was all I read when I was 12?
but I'm probably too dumb
to get you anyhow
you and your god damn literature

I'm the joker card
but I play the queen
distorted perspective
and self esteem
I'm an adult child 1990's
