The Arrogance of the Drunk Pedestrian Lyrics

With the arrogance of the drunk pedestrian
taxi driver looks down my girlfriend's top
ask politely if he could be a gentleman
pulls his aviators down so he doesn't have to stop

And we'll keep on through the shitstorm
until the metaphors are literal, false screams are guttural

When I said this was all I had I meant it

I speak in the tired cliches
of a strip club DJ
marvelous things so quickly get mundane
when you see the scaffolding behind them
and all the dirty air always blocks your way

When I said this was all I had I meant it
when you said I was a bad person I felt it
when you said that I had destroyed you
I knew a part of you was trying to destroy me too
when I said that I wanted to die I meant it
when I said that you saved my life I meant it
but goodbye
