[HOOK]
Something sinister to it,
At least ten shots of gin a night to get me lucid or stupid,
Cruise control on a handle of Jose, hosed,
And wake up feelin' stiffer than plywood in Lowes.
Elixir with a double edge, leave the Ego in bed

[Verse 1]
Five years back, hung with these eccentrics under trees
Never gave it much thought, just an erratical freak
Some sabbatic friends told me I should hang out with them
And then before I know it, bang, I'm drinking with' em at ten
Black out, wake to sleepin' in my drippin' expulsion
Never thought liquor would be grippin' compulsion
Now I'm turning twenty-one, startin' university
Thirsty Thursday's everyday, no perversity
Fuck me, another kid with a bottle and mic
Problems with night, mares in a mind with no light
Maybe it's to spite a young Jung archetype
Stars say Gemini, and I'm askin who's right
Two sides to it, twins to an argument
Then the bottle steps in and gives one of 'em the armament
Hate waking up to a buzzing phone in my pocket
Cause it wasn't me, it was them that was talking

[HOOK]

[Verse 2]
A lack of substance in a stubborn kid
Burn rubber to get these muddled hands on a fifth
Double dip indulge, a dizzy dancin' Blue Cadet
Connect with me quick or I'll slip and forget
Only write shit hopin' to get the ball in the twine
And deflate when I drop shit with a dream to get signed
But fuck it, slam a shot and push the paper some more
Straight B underachiever, body slammin' the floor
Drink and write a paper that's due in class the next day
And Super Ego steps up and turns it in for an A
Who needs an Ego vent when you can bottle it up
Take drags from a cig and then coddle the cup
Try to model stuff out of something rough, Chinaski
Blasphemin' bastard who soakin' in all the nasty
Ask me if I'll remember ever writing this
And I'll tell you that I was probably just taking the piss

[HOOK]
