GRADUATED

time she flies then time she crawls
either way I climb these walls
in this graveyard hotel room
waiting for my checkout doom

whatever happens I won't care much
I'll leave here on a hearse or bus
either way I can't can't complain
I've seen sun and I've seen rain
I've seen sun and I've seen rain

(chorus)
lived so much I learned to die
learned to love and learned to die
lived so hard and lived so high I
graduated

I've seen Dublin I've seen Rome
been to Memphis and Tupelo
saw New York City and saw Stonehenge
traveled til I'm lost again

cracked the womb and shed the skin
turned around and crawled back in
dug up graves and kissed some skulls
we're all family when we fall
we're all family when we fall

(chorus)

slept with sluts and I slept with saints
cranked my music sloshed my paint
stuck my thumb in every pie
I don't need an alibi

lost my face lost my name
lost track when I left or came
lost my passport I'm not scared
I got good friends over there
I got good friends over there

(chorus)

I've been acting long enough
I'll take my bows I"ll take 'em tough
leave the crowd all wanting more
fuck their minds and hit the door

hit the bullseye hit the road
fade out soft I won't explode
seal one note with a kiss goodbye:
"more to us than meets the eye
more to us than meets the eye"

(chorus)
