was sleepin in the lobby of the hotel belvedere
kids were dancin on the ceiling, spillin drinks into my beard
they were movin to a music, that no one else could hear
i asked them why but nobody cared
then i fell apart in tucson like a doll made out of dust
then i fell in with some hippies, but they'd just run out of drugs
so we snorted up a bible, but i didn't feel a buzz
when they turned away, i started to run
now my friend he's getting married, to a girl he thinks he likes
she's as worthless as a conscious, inside a prison fight
but if you're gonna have a home, you better have a wife
i just hope she takes him alive
but we're not down, we're just out
just for now
we were chasin after tigers, ridin lions in the field
skippin over buffalo and trippin on their heels
halfway through the laughter, you turned just to reveal
you said i'm sorry son, but none of it's real
if i ever meet my maker, i'm gonna punch her in the teeth
hold her by the hand, and kiss her on the cheek
and once all of the blood's dried, i'll buy us both a drink
and i'll thank her for the sun and the sleet
but we're not down, we're just out
just for now
