ANYPLACE ANYTIME

I'd rather be on the streets again
than listening to your mess
I'd rather be back down in the Clermont Lounge
watching them old women undress
I'd rather be working in a factory
for twenty-five cents a day
I'd rather be drinking rubbing alcohol
til your face just dissolves away

(chorus)
I'd rather be anyplace anytime
I'd rather be, if I could get you out of my mind
I'd rather be

I'd rather be a sailor
whose harbor has disappeared
I'd rather be playing in a rock n roll band
no audience will ever hear
I'd rather be down at the county farm
with a number on my back
I'd rather be a runaway slave brought back
waiting for that whip to crack

(chorus)

I'd rather be a gravedigger
shoveling my own hole
I'd rather be a two faced sinner
selling out my own soul
I'd rather be a serial killer
with a knife stashed down my boot
I'd rather be a businessman
choking in my three piece suit

(chorus)

I'd rather be a surgeon
with a rusty scalpel blade
I'd rather be a lovesick soldier
jerking off with my hand grenade
I'd rather be a preacher
who writes all his sermons on hell
I'd much rather go off and overdose
in a thirteen dollar motel

(chorus)
