lyrics

Stuck with talent sans tools
in trying times like these.
Another avant-garde
Can’t get too far;
when your tips won’t pay for travel fees.

What a time to be empty,
it's 6 to seven thirty.
I got no name,
and I got no fame.
There’s nothing here to see.

Out of my mind, out of heart
in the corner, in the dark

Words from strangers
expressing praise on my part
they call it "art".

So roll up your red carpets
make up some lies to fill the gaps.
I won’t have a heart attack,
i’ll be taken aback
that you even know my name.

Could you tell me again, just who I am,
my role to play?
They wanna go and cast a lead as the lamb,
when they’d never be caught dead on broadway.

I'd never be caught dead on broadway.

I'm not the sheep that died on broadway.

Can you spare a day’s work of change
on a starving artist in need
If time was cash
I'd have my stash
and I'd spend it how I please.

These loose screws
have the best view
of you falling apart.

There’s a bleak roadside
and a starlit sky you've clouded
and you’re raining on
a one-umbrella parade.

So if upsetting you is my niche.
feel free to call me a son of a bitch,
because there’s a reason that I put a
dog on the cover in the first place.

You're busy winding back all of your steps to try to retrace,
to find your mistakes.
I’m digressing from the point once again,
so I’ll say that i’d never be caught dead

on your red carpets

They’ll never tell me
who I am or who to play.
So lie down and shoo me away
When I'd never be caught dead

Don’t try to tell me
what I am or who to play
You can keep your bleating at bay.

I'm not the sheep that died on broadway.
