lyrics



DEATH AND TAXES


In my experience, I'm no walk in the park.
You want to know me, know my alley gets dark.
Can't say for certain you are on the right track,
you made it this far, there is no turning back.


I'm no walk in the park.


Up there up ahead there is a trash can on fire,
that there's my mouth, you see those flames waving hi?
A snowball at the fork between you and I,
given the choice, it would choose hell everytime.


I'm no walk in the park.


If art becomes a sales pitch, hit it out of the park.
Go be a star, I'd rather wish on a lark.
Mama don't like no whores 'round here, can I dream in your mouth?
I date the North, but I will marry the South.


I'm no walk in the park.


If you get famous, take me with for the ride.
My prying eyes, there's always room in the sky.
If you get worldly, I'm your salt of the earth.
Even a flower keeps some roots in the dirt.


I'm no walk in the park.
