Hooray for Me...

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I can see my teenage father standin' straight on a desolate corner In a shadow of tentacled towers by the red light of America I imagine how his mother felt When she heard that her husband was dyin' And the underground heroes of the tarmac, shootin' smack Were blowin' up worlds, and damned out loud Hey, can you tell me, how does it feel? [Chorus] Yeah, tell me Can you imagine for a second Doin' anything that you don't have to? Well, that's what I'm accustomed to, so hooray for me... And fuck you! [Verse 2] When I slept with stony faces on the riverbank My angel-devil reveler shook me desperately and dyin' I don't exactly want to apologize for anything And now we're all mad and tangled In secret rooms with Roman candles On an endless graveyard train [Chorus] Yeah, tell me Can you imagine for a second Doin' anything just 'cause you want to? Well, that's just what I do, so hooray for me... And fuck you! [Bridge] Yeah, I was dreamin' through the "how's life," yawning, car black headlamp night She told me, "Mad and meaningless as ever" And a song came on my radio like a cemetery rhyme For a million crying corpses in their tragedy Of respectable existence [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Tell me Can you imagine for a second Tryin' half the things you ever wanted to? Well, that's just what I do, so hooray for me... Oh yeah [Outro] I'm unrespectable, never sensible Maybe incredible, so damn irascible I like the things I do, so hooray for me... And fuck you!
