Well I don’t wanna be where the bands are I don’t wanna hear that chainsaw noise I don’t give a damn about your hopes and your dreams Or what the rest of the world enjoys Well I’ve been chewing razor blades honey I’ve been chasing meat I’ve got a salvation army banging on in my head And a bucket of bones at my feet And there’s nothing coming easy And there’s witches in my bed There’s a taste in my mouth that I just can’t place And I’m haunted by the things I should have said I’m trying to get better Well I’ll be your best friend And I’ll kiss goodbye to my evil twin On my word you can depend Boy scout to the end Well I don’t wanna see in your windows I don’t wanna meet your gold dust friends I don’t give a damn about the money in your bank On what your happiness all depends Well I’ve been sucking on dead air honey I’ve been chasing wind I’ve got a hole in my pocket where the sun don’t shine And I’m paranoid that I’ve been twinned And everything’s moving slowly Like a carousel sticking in the mud Everybody’s hanging on for one last dance And I’m bringing my one last drug I’m trying to get better I’ll be your best friend And I’ll kiss goodbye to my evil twin On my word you can depend Boy scout to the end Well I don’t wanna be in your phone book Every time you call me, I’ll be engaged I don’t give a damn if you ever get to know me Or you’re horrified and enraged I’ve been swallowing rusty nails honey I’ve been breaking teeth I’ve got a bag full of tricks even I don’t believe And I’m a whole different story underneath And I’m sick and tired of being right Ad my heart beats once a day There’s a hole in my head where the rain gets in And I’m too old to live any other way I’m trying to get better I’ll be your best friend And I’ll kiss goodbye to my evil twin On my word you can depend Boy scout to the end
I'm trying to keep my brains from getting dry
There's only way I know
I'm gonna bolt shut the windows
Barricade the doors
Let all of my judgements go
I'll take the meat from the table
Talk straight while I'm able
Untill I'm nothing less than a crime
Until my heart stops beating
I will drink myself too much wine
Well I know I'm getting nowhere
Creeping up the backstair
Telling myself I'm in pain
Even I don't believe me
I'm threatening to leave me
Till only my dumbness remains
Well even schoolgirls deride me
There's something dead inside me
I'd give away my blood for a sign
Until my ship comes in
I'm gonna drink myself too much wine
Too much wine, too much wine
I'll be your best kind of friend
I'll be submissive to the end of the line
And when the clock strikes seven
They can cut me down in my prime
I'll be your last witchdoctor
I'll be anything for too much wine
I'm trying to keep my brains from getting dry
There's only way I know
I'm gonna bolt shut the windows
Barricade the door
Let all of my judgements go
I'll take the meat from the table
Talk straight while I'm able
Untill I'm nothing less than a crime
Until my heart stops beating
I will drink myself too much wine
Too much wine, too much wine
Too much wine
I'll be your best kind of friend
I'll be submissive to the end of the line
And when the clock strikes seven
They can cut me down in my prime
I'll be your last witchdoctor
I'll be anything for too much wine
Too much wine, too much wine
I'll be your best kind of friend
I'll be submissive to the end of the line
And when the clock strikes seven
They can cut me down in my prime
I'll be your last witchdoctor too much wine
I'll be anything for too much wine
I'll be your last witchdoctor too much wine
I'll be anything for too much wine
I'll be your last witchdoctor too much wine
I'll be anything for too much wine

Well I never thought of myself as a subtle kind of man I dreamed I was alive one time before the world began And every time I walk the street my troubles drag my heels I could not pretend that I wasn’t lost in how it feels I’m gonna be your Elvis I’m gonna be your Steve McQueen I was dead long before I was born, my mother did proclaim Send him back to Jesus, tell him I was not to blame Well well well tell me how can I refuse When every angel left in heaven bet that I would lose The sound of frozen bells and horns was all that I could hear And every word that I ignored was ringing in my ear I could not pretend that I was even half amused When all they ever told me left me shaken and confused I’m gonna be your Elvis I’m gonna be your Steve McQueen I’m gonna be the man you could not dream Well I shaked out right on down the road til no one knew my name The future came and went so fast I almost bet the same I slept a guilty sleep for seven years I was a ghost Of everyone I ever loved I loved myself the most When everyone was breaking up I was breaking down I kept myself amused in high heeled shoes and sequin gowns Those voices on the radio, they all just made me numb So I covered up my ears with bandages and bubble gum And I boarded up the windows and I denied that I was me I sold my brains for science and my soul for security Now I’m a walking shadow of the fool I used to be I heard they held my funeral and there was no one there but me I’m gonna be your Elvis I’m gonna be your Steve McQueen I’m gonna be your terrorist I’m gonna be your Steve McQueen I’m gonna be the man you could not dream The man you could not dream The man you could not dream The man you could not dream The man you could not dream
