lyrics

half of all the waiters, a tenth of all the saints
my baby likes tomatoes, i like finger paints
a hobby is good and everyone should
be taking photographs or working with wood

drove to the corner, slipped past a cop
drop me an anvil when you get to the top
built in ‘63, sold in tennessee
by a guy with a hair-lip clever as can be

figure it out, add it all up, for your lover

there’s siblings in the white house, uncles on tv
i’ve landed in the hoosegow for spreading disease
a million in chips, a nice pair of lips
ringside seats at the fight, a suite for the night

down on alameda where the beehive buzz
you don’t ever need a leader everyone call you cuz
break out your ax, my friend can play sax
i try to sing to straight but my voice always cracks

figure it out, add it all up, for your lover

days go by, never knew needed, some say i
sitting here wishing you well
so fucking hard to say when you deal with such shit everyday

someone’s in the backyard, standing in the rain
i played the wild card then i hopped the next train
i gave it to jane, she gave it to wayne
now he’s got a high fever and going insane

radio is broken my peanut is numb
i lost my subway token and i feel like a bum
telephone rings somebody sings
they treated us like dirt and now they treat us like kings

figure it out, add it all up, for your lover
